The Otohime I was discussing are granules of varying sizes (reference to the letters). "Otohime Marine Weaning Diets" to be specific. No culturing at all. It is in a ziplock pouch and you sprinkle it in like pellets or flakes.

Well, I finished out setting up the grow out "¦ two 40G & 1 20G plumbed to my 45G Rubbermaid "œghetto" sump w/ filter sock. I've got an aqua-c 180 running ozone and an iwaki 40 (cut way back w/ a ball valve) doing the return. I've got room to add on three more 20G's, but don't need them right now.
My pair is dropping eggs like clock work (every 14 days). I've sold off all but a pair from my oldest at ~58 days, which I'm probably going to keep as a second brrod stock pair. They're roaming free in my 90G fuge right now, but they don't stray more than an inch off their bta. I've got about a dozen at 25 days in the 20G on my new grow out (lost a bunch from that hatch to ammonia spikes from my previous independent systems), ~50 more fry at 8 days old in my 10G and the male is currently sitting on eggs that will hatch this Thursday/Friday.
Not a real post w/o a couple pics, so here's a few. The quality stinks "¦ can't seem to take good macro pics on my cameras. Any photo tips for macros with a sony cyber-shot or cannon G2 "“ I'm all ears.

Yes yes, I did the research after Hawgdawg's oh so helpful remark.

Maybe its just a really small door? Why are they so high?
I put them up high due to space. At that height, I can put another level of tanks on a new shelf right below it if/when I need it and easily plumb into the same sump. Also, if I didn't put them up that high I would have had to move the shelving that holds the empty 29 you see on the left (my QT) and my 2 10G larvae tanks you can't see. I'm also 6'5", so feeding isn't an issue - I just have to stand on a chair to vacuum the bottom.

They are about half an inch at that age. I'm guessing the egg count is somewhere around 200-250. To be honest, I haven't ever counted the eggs. I have counted at meta though. I'm getting around 50-60 post meta.

A couple updated pics of the clowns I'm growing out. I let the last 2 hatches go since I'll be out of the country for most of June. All these guys are off live foods "¦ something the house sitter can handle. I'll start rearing the hatches again in July.
Several pics from the pair I kept from my first hatch this year. They're in one of the 40G's w/ LR, BTA & dual T5's.
A pic of some of the recent batch. Numbering somewhere around 35 in the 30 day old range. They are in the 20G connected to my two 40G's.
