Awesome Sean, I am definitely looking forward to see how they color up.

On a side note, I would ask everyone to please keep on topic so we can see the progress and perhaps learn a thing or two.

I agree 100%, though I'm out for a while. I will still be following along when I get the chance to use people's computers.

Thats awesome, 150-200. I can see our raffle table at meeting full of seans "donated" clowns. Heck, if he keeps it up we may never have to pay dues again, we can be funded by the monthly clown raffle.

Seriously though, what the heck are you going to do with all of those, you have two batches at the moment right?

 

[BrunstuckyJoe]

Be sure to take notes, never know when one of us will need advice.
You seem to be having great luck so far.

He's currently setting up a new tank I believe

 

[DiscoReefRover]

where to start ??? well Bill I would love to be setting up for the next batch but it seems that I have hit a snag although I have Plenty of time <~~~Jobless and all ....I have every dime tied up in the current batch ..so I seeem to missing some essential matterials to pull of another ...

If I were to do so I would need the following
3 ten gallon tanks
2 more air pumps or one good one
a ton of phyto
15 or so 2 liter bottles

I am tapped
I would happily provide coral frags for any and all of these items

with that said well see what I can do in the meantime on my own

As has been said My blacks Have laaid eggs yesterday
and my percs are due sometime next week by my best guess as I am not in tune with there schedule yet but have been documenting everything on a calander ..

I will try to get my mojo back ....I am pretty down as to the events leading to the present ...

Hey DiscoReef, I have a ten gallon tank and a dual outlet pump that can run up to 6 airstones. Let me know if you need them.

 

[MeVsTheWorld]

Well hopefully you'll get some work going soon to help feed the monster If I had any of that stuff I would help ya out, maybe the 2 liters..lol Nice video, mean little cusses....

 

[Kostrab]

Hey Sean, I have a brand new 10G that you're more than welcome to. I can bring it to the meeting. Let me know....

 

[Ohiomom]

Those black clowns are beautiful..sometimes I wish I didn't take the clowns I was given for free..especially since I have been told they can live for 10+ years easily..

 

[GROWSZOAS]

ill start saving my 2 liter bottles for you

 

[chuggy]

i told you to start culturing phyto from the start its the most expensive thing in the process. Rots are easy they multiply so fast phyto takes time and costs a lot. Hey what you keeping the sg in the fry tank at? What temp? Whats your photoperiod? I couldnt see the eggs in the video but are they on something you can remove from the tank?

 

[PhilipOSU]

Sean I have a good air pump for you. I will be heading up to the west side tomorrow or thursday evening to get my rics from Murph and a frag from Steve. Let me know if you want it. - Phil
