And what conditions.
Pick up a copy of Joyce WIlkerson's book on Clownfish, it has everything you want to know, with great diagrams, etc. Excellent reference.

Barrons also has a great book.
You will need a 2 or 3 air stones (with air pump), depending on the size tank to get for rearing the larvae. Best idea is to get a 20 gallon hexagonal aquarium, put an aquaclear 20 on it and get a heater and put it at the desired temperature for the aquarium. Have 2 or 3 pieces of PVC inside the aquarium. Then get the lowest power MJ power head and put it in there to make sure that there are no dead spots in the aquarium. Then have a nice SOFT, SMALL holed sponge attached to the intakes of both the filer and the MJ.
Conditions should be the same as the aquarium as they were born in. Salt same and everything. at the beginning try to get the filter seasoned with the aquarium water that you take out of your aqua pod when you are doing a water change. That way you aren't having to go through as big of a chemistry cycle when you put the larvae in the other tank. You will need to do water changes weekly and when replacing it use some of the water from your aqua pod.
GOOD LUCK
