Where in pa are you?

We are located in Northampton Pa about 15 minutes from Allentown or about an hour north of Philly. (I am 1 of the owners of the operations)

Hi Steve! I'm about an hour from you in White Haven, basically 476 north for 2 exits. I head your way to hit up Something Fishy.

Are those acrylic dividers siliconed in? I was in the middle of installing these for a simliar setup, and realized I wasn't using thick enough acrylic - 3/16". What thickness are you using, and any issue? Or is it made of something else?

We actually used high density polypropylene it was way cheaper then acrylic and they cut it to size for us. We ordered 15 dividers and it only cost $60. I believe the sheets were 1/16 or 1/8 not 100% sure. Thiner stuff is just harder to cut and may bend a little but it should work

 

[president89]

Is does seem to be bending - Do you have each compartment plumbed seperately? I'm trying to do something similiar, but I was told I'd have issues if I used less than 1/4". I'm just wondering how it's working for you.

 

[Scubasteve13]

Each compartment has a return line but only 1 drain per tank. Also we only siliconed the back and they seem to be holding. The issue we had was the slots on the bottom were too big and the fish got through, we just zip tied gutter guard on and the problem was fixed....thinner stuff was hard to cut for slots that is why thicker stuff is recommended.

Do you have any babies yet?

 

[Scubasteve13]

We currently have 2 pair laying, since it was their first clutch we have decided to wait to start raising the babies. I plan on collecting the 3rd nest or so to start raising the fry..

 

[Lou Young]

That is great news. What type are the ones laying eggs?

 

[ajdiver]

I'm debating on selling my big tank and starting a breeding setup. I want to get into the breeding aspect of the hobby.

 

[Scubasteve13]

We have a black and orange pair also a c-quest onyx pair laying. It is a lot of work but seeing the end result makes it all worth it.

Any details on your grow out system? I'm in the planning stage of a grow out system and could use some inspiration. Nice clowns btw.
