Built a larvae catcher, looks like it may work

[Hminor00]

So I come home today and look as normal to see if my clowns are mating and see that my cleaner shrimp has eggs. So I jump in to action because I love a challenge. Built this below and it appears to be built just right. Wish me luck as if this works ill let y'all know.

tagging along. Love to see a picture of your final design, better explanation of how it works.

How did you come up with the design or what is the design derived from? this is going to be really interesting, I wish you the best of luck.

 

[Hminor00]

I just looked at what stuff I had available laying around thought the design up in my head. I'll post an updated pic later as it seems to be catching small tiny swimming pods right now.

Catching pods... Excellent! Should make an great larvae catcher when the eggs hatch. I would like to see more detailed plans of your contraption.
