20 Long Kreisel

[Wizzy.]

Hello!

I want to take my first steps into breeding, but am not sure what the best method is.

I want to eventually breed Sexy Shrimp, Bangaii Cardinals, and then Clownfish (then who knows what after that).

My plan is to construct a system like the following-

I want to then create an automated feeding system using a peristaltic pump from BRS connected to a timer.

It would feed live brine shrimp (possibly phytoplankton/something else as well to gutload the shrimp) 6 times a day from a pitcher elevated above the tank so as to prevent clogging of the tubes. Gravity should make it so no food gets stuck in the tubing.

I am also looking to eventually set up a 180 or 240 gallon DT with a 55 gallon refugium under it.

I would use the refugium as a growout tank for fry.

So, is a Kreisel the best approach for what I want to do, or would a different setup be better?

Please advise.

Thanks- Wizzy

So, I still want to make this happen.

Here's the things that are holding me back-

If I move my sexy shrimp into the kreisel, before they release their larvae, I am worried that Hydroids and other nasties will HH in on them or in the drops of water.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing when it comes to plumbing lol. I will be addressing this problem by doing some reading- I'm also open to advice.

I need advice on an automatic feeder.

I want to make one using a BRS Peristaltic Pump and a Digital Timer. It would pump from a container 5 times a day and I would use a low power LED Light to attract the fry to the feeding zone.

Finally, due to work I have to complete during the day. I am not sure whether I would have enough time to hatch Baby Brine Shrimp in the morning.

Would it be possible to keep the fry on a night cycle so I could hatch the BBS at night?
