Hey fishboy, I was curious what size hole you drilled in each of your tanks? You have them drilled in the middle of the bottoms if im not mistaken?
Cheers

See above for how these were drilled (custom-sized with a Dremel to fit a 3/4" bulkhead). The holes are centered about 1/3 from the back of the tanks. We now use a 45mm diamond-coated holesaw for 1" bulkheads. Even the "economy" ones for ~$6 will drill many tanks.

Do you have any pics of your plumbing and filtration?

Hopefully this link can answer a few questions and avoid redundant threads:

Hope this helps--any of you building a multi-tank system please feel free to post/hijack here and share your progress!

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the info. I'm currently in the process of planning my systems. I have so many questions, but my mind is about to explode. One notable question I had for you was how you were able to succesfully raise the % of fish that you have per batch.

Once laid, whats your process from beggining to growout? As far as collecting, removing, transferring stuff like that. I wish I knew you earlier. I was stationed at Fort Campbell, recently moved.

I look forward to picking your brain.
Thanks for all the info.
Cheers

That's a LOT of information! I'd say enough to fill a book, but thankfully, someone wrote it!

Wilkerson, Clownfishes Book

Seriously though, that book has most of what you will need to know to get going. I'm not trying to withhold information, but I'd rather not re-write the book on here. Of course each breeder has his own tricks and tips that may or may not be transferrable. Check the FAQ here in the FBF and in the Clownfish/Anemones forum for lots of good information as well. There's also a sticky about breeding setups here that may help.

Also, another book to check out that may help for your system designs:

Hoff, Raising Clownfish...

Don't hesitate to ask specifics though or make a thread so that all can help out.

They were on order a few days ago. I use to own them but lost them in an Army move.

I'll have some questions for you later. Thanks for the info so far.
