stdreb27 - The clownfish fry won't survive in a reef. They have to be raised in a small unlit tank, and fed 5x a day for the first 10 days using rotifers that have been fed phytoplankton.
And if you do that well, then you can wean them over to frozen (and thawed) cyclop-eeze. A month or so later, mini mysis.
michika - It makes it easier to count the bubbles, and it doesn't seem to evaporate like water does. Marine Depot sells it:

Nice Tank..
Chuck,
I just tripped into this thread today and it's been quite a read. I'm glad to see the ranting of others hi-jacking your thread seemed to curb after the split. Many of these self righteous hobbiests are pretty hypocritical; if they really wanted what was best for the fish they would leave them in the ocean. I know this will upset the "tang police" but I think we keep fish for our own enjoyment, not theirs. Otherwise like I said we would leave them in the ocean. In my opinion if you can handle the bio-load that is what really matters, and I'm pretty sure most of these nay-sayers have never been scuba diving, because in some places I've had trouble seeing the coral because the fish population is so thick. There is a lot of ocean space left open but they tend to crowd together around the reef so being in a tank with enough to eat shouldn't be a big problem. I think most fish like company, although that said, guess what? Fish fight in the wild too. Anyway, I think your system is very well done.

What type of camera do you use? My Reefmaster (older model with film) takes lousy pics. I want to upgrade.
Thanks.
Thanks.
