Where am I?

In just Aug 14 my clownfish have laid eggs twice, the first time i said whatever. Today i came home and in the same spot were more eggs. I actually want to try and raise this bunch but if i am out of time i would try the next batch. I have a 5 gal glass tank heater and air pump ready, but after that am lost on what else i need and where to get the supplies. Also the clowns seem to lay the eggs on the glass and never any rock or something i can move.*

So here i am needing advice on how to raise these and what is a good source to get the rest of the supplies food etc
 
Reed mariculture is a good place to get supplies but they sell fry food in bulk (you'd want the oto a and b1, from there you can crush foods with a mortar and pestle) unless they got their sample pack back in. It's just so much more food than you can actually use unless you start a fish farm. I'd order rots from them though. I tried the rots from ebay but they didn't work too well for me, the ones from reeds were great and still going strong. Here is a link to my thread on my local forum http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2424300 if you want to check out what I've been doing.

To collect the fry you can shine a small flash light in the corner of the tank (they are attracted to the light) and scoop them out with a mug. For next time you can try to put a tile against the glass where they lay and hopefully they'll lay on that instead.
