Exp. breeders help me with A. thiellei?

So, I think I owe it to the reefing community to give this some serious effort. I have not successfully raised any species of anything. That said I have tried a single batch of cinnamons which lasted under a week. I have an idea of what it takes. Given behavior, size and appearance I have a feeling that these will be similar in difficulty to A. ocellaris.

Current parameters that I'm willing to discuss are:
Temp - 80-82
SG - 1.023-1.025
Photoperiod - 0600-2000
Foods (in order of frequency) - Frozen cyclopeeze, Frozen mysis, Ocean Nutrition pellet, Tetra Marine Flake. I'm only feeding once sometimes twice daily.

What would you do differently if these were your fish and you wanted to breed them?
 
Well anyway....

I've bought 10Lbs of kalkwasser to kill off the aptasia problem I have with my current setup (40 breeder hooked to a 100 gallon rubbermaid trough.) Think that'll be enough? Hahaha!
I had a CBB that was doing well with the aptasia but the clowns did not take kindly to him being in there with so many anemones and killed it (presumably.)
I bought five 6oz packs of Rod's Food FO formula.
I bought a diamond hole saw and five 1.5" bulkheads.
I designed a stand for a 180/210 that will be built by a cabinet maker friend of mine.
I'm on the prowl for a 180-220 gallon, a Reeflo Barracuda (for CL), a Reeflo Dart (for circulation.)
I already have a Euroreef CS12-2 skimmer which (will be more than enough to manage the system.) I also have four 250W MHs with Mini Lumenarc Reflectors and IceCap ballasts. (Old school but it works for my needs.)
A friend is dropping off some BTAs and corals tonight.
All this and I still need to do renovations on my basement so this can be an actual display and not a ghetto reef like my last one.
That said, it will function a lot like my old system.
