My clownfish breeding journey

[JasonG]

I moved out to Phoenix a couple months ago, figured I should post some updates over the next couple days while I am in Orange County.

I ended up losing that entire clutch to an ammonia spike when moving them to a Growout system that just wasn't ready before I left which was so sad. However, I had another one starting around the same time and these guys made it out to Phoenix with me! Less than 10 casualties in the move, all of the parents made it fine and are doing great. 3 pairs are spawning again in their new home!

Here is a pic of the babies a couple days ago @ 4 months. They are all huddled together because the lights just came on and that's how they sleep!

I'll post some pics of my new system that James (newtothis) helped me build out in Phoenix

Also started our company out there, and we are in the process of getting everything licensed, etc. Here is our logo

Thanks Jeff, been meaning to post some updates for a while!

Here is a pic of Broodstock system, in the process of putting together another rack as well for the new pairs I have acquired.

This was during the build, plumbing design (and most of the work) done by James (newtothis)

Here is a shot of it somewhat complete

each tank has a 1" inch drain plumbed to a 2" manifold per level. Returns come in above each tank with ball valves on each one for flow adjustment or to stop flow if I have any eggs hatching in tank

So I know I haven't updated this in a while but here are a few new things that have been happening here in AZ.

I recently started building my second system that will house another 18 20g tanks. I will get some pics up tomorrow of the progress so far as well as some baby clown pics.

Here is a pair that just arrived today. The female is an ORA Picasso and the male is descendent from Doni's Reef
