Clownfish fry tank questions.......

[ajdiver]

This is my setup so far for my fry tank. My snowflakes laid their second set of eggs and I figured I would get ready to try and raise this set. I still need to black out the sides, back and also get a sponge filter. Is there any other recommendations that anyone can suggest for me? I also purchased the rotifer bucket and RG Complete from Reed Mariculture so I can keep some live rotifers on hand.

get rid of the pvc pipe till they get older, as long as temp stays constant then no heater needed otherwise I would add one with a air stone under is and the light covered up with electrical tape

I added a sponge filter to the left corner and aimed the flow towards the glass to reduce the flow. I also but a piece of screen over the intake holes of the filter to avoid them getting sucked into the filter. I also blacked out the 3 sides and I'll remove the pvc till later. Is 80° an ideal temp? I live in Florida so therfore I don't need a heater. Thanks shifty for your insight.

80 is a great temp. I would suggest removing the filter until they are about 4 weeks old, they may not get sucked in but it will suck up your rotifers and the fry will get stuck to the filter without being able to swim away. stick to just air stones and water changes for the 1st few weeks then switch to a air driven sponge filter.
