Wow that is an awesome setup. I've never seen a breeding setup with such nice woodwork. Tell us some about it. I assume its all plumbed together but why the foam filters? I see you are culturing live phyto. Have you ever tried frozen? I'm using Rotifer diet and it saves alot of work and works much better IMO. Which clowns are you raising? I see Black O's for sure. (I breed them as well)

Thanks. Yes, it is all plumbed together. All tanks drain into a sump through a 100 micron filter and algae scrubber. Also a skimmer and 40W UV in each sump. The sponge filters just add additional filtering and water movement. You can't have too much filtration when you are feeding this heavily. I do use frozen phyto as well, but it gets too expensive as I go through 4L off live phyto per day. I'm raising o's, blacks, percs, GSM, tomato, neon goby.
