My Build Thread

Another success of sorts, I have baby clowns swimming in a sea of Green!
It is a bitter sweet time as I made a rookie mistake which resulted in a less than optimal hatch.
The night I thought they were going to hatch which was tuesday the 21st, I removed the cave and placed it in my 10G fry tank. The hardest thing I found was getting the bubbles to be calm enough to wave the eggs and place the air stone in teh perfect spot.
Anyway, Wednesday morning I woke up and found that only one fry had hatched. I went ahead and left the cave in. Thursday Morning I woke up and saw what I thought was a bunch of empty eggs and some fry swimming around the tank. So I tinted the water and added rots and took the cave out. I started tending to my other tanks and came back in a few minutes to rinse out the cave and saw this:(

Turns out what I though was clear was silver and most of my eggs hadn't hatched yet. I have about 20 fry that hatched I'm keeping my fingers crossed that most make it.

Bryan you still need another clown cave?

 

[akabryanhall]

[akabryanhall]

Wow, those anemones are amazing! especially the first one, I've had my Nuclear Green Polyps split with purple deaths, but if thats not photoshopped, then that is one of the nicest anemones I've ever seen, from two of the nicest color morphs Ive seen. Thanks for sharing. Very Nice Broodstock by the way, very cool maroon/ocellaris combo, have you seen ORA's blog on their unintentional hybrids (they house them in seperate tanks)?

Thanks for the compliments man! I have seen that blog, very interesting read.
Got some new fish (Something about a quest and wyoming?;)) and anemone

My ammonia is a bit high and the sunpaq is putting out soo much heat, the clowns are not happy right now.

 

[akabryanhall]

Clowns stabilized I think. Still not sure what to do about the sunpaq over the 90, it has raised the temp in the office about 5 degrees:(

Only issue is my Oscillaris Maroon pair haven't laid eggs in a while, I have been making changes in fish system, really threw them off.

Sad day here, lost one of my blacker ice in a carpet surfing incident.
