That is a pretty cool shot of the eggs and parents.
Getting the clowns to spawn in the first place is amazing! A tip for those who use Nori and don't like that it breaks so easily and is messy in the tank. Just leave the bag open by the tank. When you seal it, the moisture is kept out. If you leave the bag open after a few days the Nori will not be as brittle. It will definitely help reduce the mess but is not perfect. Keep up the nice work!
Thanks! Both of my pairs are currently spawning. Typically have two sets of eggs like clockwork almost every 14 days from both pairs. Only 1 pairs eggs are accessible, which thankfully are my nicer looking clowns. Although my other pair is a typical orange and a black/white (sorry, don't know technical names). Would be neat to see how their babies turned out.

Tank is almost 2 years old! Cycle started around March 15, 2016. Can't believe that time has went by so fast. It's really filling in nicely. The new tang additions are still a bit timid, powder brown still running the mill. It seems to be letting up tho, now just flashing each other, which is nice!
Frag tank and fuge need a solid cleaning. Still need to catch the darn clownfish in the DT so the other pair can go in!
Have a bi color BTA (2 of them) in the frag tank currently. I'm hesitant to put them in DT. Worry of them splitting and taking over, and moving where I don't want them, lol. No risk, no reward though, right? Haha

Placing a slice of bread in a ziplock bag along with the nori will keep it soft.
Jeremy made an awesome nori feeder yesterday that lifts out of the tank so I don't have to climb the ladder and reach in every time the nori needs changed. The tangs are consuming around 5-6 sheets a day, I was ready for an easier way to change it!
I'll grab some pics once the lights come on in a bit, it took the fish about 1/2 day to get comfortable with the new setup, but now they're going to town on it!
There's still aggression going on with the new tangs, really it's down to just the powder brown picking on the Blue hippo. It's definitely gotten better, but there's aggression, causing everyone to be on edge/timid a bit.
With the AWC and CaRX running these past few months I cannot believe the colors that are coming out in the SPS. There's 2 frags I was going to move because they looked so unhappy, browned out and very little growth. In the past month both drags are colored up amazingly (one is a bright purple, I had no idea) and growing rapidly. Amazing the difference of having the right chemistry/equipment running.
Skimmer flooded the fish room two times in the past month. We were trying to dial it in a bit more and apparently overdid it. None of the leak detectors from our Apex went off, thankfully discovered it with only about 2-3 gallons drained onto the floor.
Still have yet to catch the darn clown in the DT so the others can come up to the DT. His partner is waiting patiently with 2 bicolor BTA's in our frag tank.

Here's pics of the nori clip Jeremy rigged up to eliminate having to climb the ladder and get my arm in the tank! I am in love. Some may not like the look of the pipe hanging down and holding the clip, but it's functional for me. And to be honest it's nice to have the clip off of the front pane so I don't have to clean around it.
He made two of them, you'll see one on each side of the return lines. You'll notice the "œclip" on the back of the tank that holds each on. It's held on by sticky back, and made for brooms/mops. It helps keep it held into place. It's pretty sturdy without the clip, but just extra precaution.
Top view, he put 2 90 degree in top to keep it from rocking back and forth.
Front view. Sorry for all of the Blue, lights just coming on. The pvc hanging down is grey to keep it more blended in versus white.

Sure thing! Jeremy made the mounts himself from bicycle brake lines. If you want more details, let me know and I'll have him chime in. We made sure they were hooked up, but removable with the clips should we need to move the lights at all.

Unfortunately with these it's permanent for height, it has a set screw on it.

They sure are! We own a bicycle shop, so naturally they came right to mind. We used all new components for the build, but definitely would use used if a person had it on hand.
I'm so in love with the new nori feeders, so easy to change without a hassle.
They are consuming a ton, and would eat more if I would add it. I will slowly take it back a few sheets a day once the aggression simmers down a bit. For now, it's the only thing encouraging the Blue hippo to come out of it's small area where it stays confined swimming in. (Which is thankfully along the front, lol). Having both clips full at all times seems to alleviate a bit of the powder Browns aggression. I can tell when one clip is empty, as it (powder brown) gets a lot more protective of the other.
The desi sailfin is super super fat. She's a beast and already so wide.

Awhile back a frag fell between the rocks, by the time I got to looking for it, it seemed to be gone. This was about April of last year. Just noticed yesterday it's about 5" tall now and peaking its tips out of a crevice not seen from the front! Exciting.
