i plan on expanding in the near future and burning more money. I want to seperate as much of my new breeding set up as possible. I plan on adding a completely seperate system. I need some growout space and some new permanent homes for my breeders. The system will be:
42 gal. growout w/ divider (48"W x 24"D x 10"T)
17 gal. breeder w/ 2 or 3 dividers (48"W x 10"D x 8"T)
I'll probably have seperate sumps for each

the fish and coral share the sump ? i love the set up i would change that. just because look's that fish are temp. turn over right? the fish are for sale.so you will get new fish all the time well just due to new fish then it's safe to say you will run copper not good for coral? bad *** but i would run two sump's fish only and coral.but i would love that system good job!!

 

[NANOYED]

Currently the corals and fish are sharing the same system. I plan on putting a new system in that will have two sumps, one for the breeders and one for the growout.

I love the attention to detail you have. What software are you using for your layouts, they look great. I can't wait to see your expansion. Great job!

Welcome to R2R nanoyed! What type of clowns are you breeding?

I have several pairs going right now:
Nakeds
B&W ocellaris
Ocellaris
B&W ocellaris & Snowflake
GS Maroon & platinum

The GS maroon & platinum have not yet laid but she has accepted him and he has started to clean the pot trying to entice her. Lately she's been fanning everything and biting at all the walls. Hopefully within the next couple of months will have some eggs.

Thankfully I have quite a bit of friends in the hobby. I got the top run & sump for free, one of my friends had them laying around. The bigger main tank I found on Craigslist for $75 and it was brand new!
