I have a bunch of stuff for sale, pics will be posted later or I can text upon request. I will consider reasonable offers, please don't hesitate to ask questions, thanks.

I have a breeding pair of clowns, father is a frost bite, mother is a wild caught occy. You can see pics of them in this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/clownfish-breeding-project.179581/ the 4th and 5th pics are of the pair and post #19 are of the offspring I got from them. I have plenty more if necessary. Asking $200 for the pair.

Sro xp-2000 skimmer with aquatrance pump, pump is new. I bought this for my broodstock stock system but new got around to setting it up. $160

Deepblue 60g rimless frag tank with 2x4 stand $215

Atb 1050a deluxe clone, this skimmer has a genuine atb cone and the rest of the skimmer was built by another member, troylee, he was an acrylic guy out Vegas. He built two of these skimmers, one he sold to me and the other he used on his tank. You can see the build here.http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...1754535&page=9 the build starts in page 9. My skimmer is slightly different in that it has a reef octopus gate valve and a brand new waveline 5000. This skimmer is brand new and never used. Asking $425

Any other pairs?

Not that I'm looking to sell right now. I may have a Wyoming white, snow flake and regular occy trio that I might sell but they are small and I haven't entirely decided to get rid of them yet.

Just curious, what would you tell people who are trying to breed their clowns? Ive been tying to get all the info i can. I want to breed my lightning maroons. Any tips?

Longer light cycle, lower salinity, higher temps, and heavy feeding are the best way to get your clowns to lay. Now, none of that is good for a reef so if you have them in a reef then I'd say just feed them as best as you can without getting your nutrient levels too high and wait for them to decide to lay. My Picasso pair took 3 years to decide to lay in reef and I have a female occy that I've had for 14 years that just started laying last year. In my broodstock system I got clowns laying in a few of months.

I have them on about 12hrs on my broodstock tank, this seems to work.

If I decide to do that I'll let you know.

A lot of questions but no takers yet. Everything still available.

Going out of town soon and I'd like to move some of this stuff.

Deep blue 60g rimless frag tank and stand, $200 and I'll throw in a 20g you can use for a sump.
Mated pair of clowns, $160 I've attached some pics of the male tending to a nest.
Atb skimmer, not fully assembled in the pic but comes complete. $350 this is a lot cheaper than I could find it being sold for.
