UPDATE:

the babies did not make it... well it's not really a big surprise, it's our first try at this and we were not that prepare, my husband was too quick deciding to do this before getting all the equipment

But next month we will be better installed and will try again

we got equipment to get ready for the next spawning!

the tank for the rotifers:

the phyto reactors to feed the rotifers:

we have to get a 10g to connect to the main tank for the next babies...
and a 5g to hatch brine shrimps too...

anything we are forgetting?

There is an excellent read on Reef Central under the spawning section about a guy breeding black percs. Very detailed on how to raise them and the food, also lots of pictures on his set up and methods.

"Clownfish" by Joyce D. Wilkerson is a very good read as well on raising the babies as well as the food source for them.

Best of luck to you.
