With the buckets on the ground like that how do you do water changes on the rotifer tanks? What is your maintenance schedule for all tanks, fry, rotifers, growout? Thanks in advance.

The buckets are on a shelf 8" above the ground so it is easy to vacumn them. I change 1 gal per bucket per week on the rotifers & harvest some every day. On the fry tanks with fish less than 1 month old I syphon the bottom every day & on the grow out system 1-2 times a week with a big wc on the weekends.

This looks awesome! Any updates on getting the rest of the system set up?

The room is finished & stocked with 4000+ clownfish. Just having a hard time getting good pictures.

That is a LOT of fish! I am in the process of developing a larger breeding system currently. Yours is almost exactly what I am looking at doing just on a smaller level! haha

How did you design the stand/support for your tanks?

Awesome setup. I'm hoping my clowns start spawning soon, but I think trying to raise fry from one pair will be more than enough for me!

Sorry but it can be a number of things. It sounds like it could be brook. but they would have to catch it from an infected fish or from using cleaning tools etc. & transfering it that way from another tank. If your fish are getting big it might be low O2 levels. 2 sponge filters. If your tank is not on a central system that why don't you have a hob filter? With that many fish I would run a filter rated for 30-40 gal. When my fish are 2 weeks old I put a Whisper 20 hob on it with a sponge over the intake.
I would start with a 20% wc & add an airstone & get a better filter.
