Breeding project with multiple clownfish

[shane reef]

So I decided to start a breeding project. I found at lfs old display tank so I picked up two of the to start. They are 90 gallons, 5x18x14. I decided to section it in six stalls. Gonna try my hand at bonding acrylic to make these sections for the fish. I will be posting lots if pics of the build.

Well I got into working on project some more last night and got all section built. The are 18x14x10. LxWxH. This gave me a total of six individual sections. Decided to have each section with its own overflow and return. So off to lowes for parts.
This is all going to go in my garage. We have insulated doors that, also they are sealed so I don't have to worry about temp in tanks. Garage ac and heat. Will be installing tank in a recess in the wall. I add a few picks of the progress.

Update on progress.

Drilled each one individual. That was easy.

Took my time to get it all equally spaced and look good. Really need more hands when came down to the glue. I took my about 3 hours to cut it and glue it all. Man I was light head after all or that, but it looks great.

Great progress so far!! Keep the pictures coming. What kind of pairs are you going to get?

 

[shane reef]

I have four pairs right now. Pair of snowflakes, b/w, blackice

My I love this male my favor so far.

this pair I have had from babies, still not full grown but the are pretty.

 

[Clownfish Depot]

Good looking pairs! It looks like you have the Ocellaris all wrapped up. Now all you need is 2 pairs of Perculas, maybe a Picasso pair and a Snow Onyx or Platinum pair to round it all out :-)

 

[shane reef]

Working on it!! I have a pair of Picasso's lined up and snow onyx as well.I am also looking at getting a pair of onyx, fancy snow as well.

Send me pics of them before you buy and I can give you my opinion...if you like:bigsmile:

Build looks nice. Are you worried at all about the shelf only being held up by the sheer strength of the screws/nails and/or the resistance to being pulled out of the wall studs? Its hard to tell from the picture how large they are.

LOOKS GREAT! anyway i will be just be working on black white perc. Have been out of having a tank for almost 10 years so will just do a 55breeder but still some corals and go where the sea salts lead me.
