Thanks so much guys. Maui was the most amazing place I have ever visited and I need to post pictures that I took and create a seperate thread. I have some awesome pictures of some of the animals I could identify in the black lava tidal pools, which besides snorkeling and whale watching was one of my favorite things to do there.
While I was gone I think it helped that I had a care taker (my boyfriend) who is OCD to watch over my fry. I wrote every little task down for him and what time it was to be done. :reading: He vaccuumed the tank religiously, never missed a water change, and was precise with adding cups of strained rotifers. On top of this he text me all water perimeters every day and sent me a daily picture of them. Before I left I tried to automate as much as I could such as lighting and he just followed all my instuctions like a cook book recipie. I did not get my hopes up and did not expect any fry to survive! My clowns even laid eggs the day after I left and he collected a small batch of his own!
Now I follow my own instructions and have a daily checklist to make things easy for myself. I cannot wait for another batch to be laid should be today or tomorow to do it all again!
With all of your sucessfull batches do you have any tools like this you have made for yourselves? Thanks again for your encouragement and mentorship!~ Jo
