So not sure how much I’ve conveyed, but the jist was that I had an artificial incubation hatch last night.
Black round tub, incubating the eggs.
Once hatched, I tinted the water (about 5 gallons of broodstock water) green with Reed Mariculture’s RotiGreen Nanno (a frozen algae paste specifically made for use in greenwater technique). It took about 20 drops. I added 10 drops of Chloram-X (for ammonia control). And I sieved 2 gallons of rotifers to innoculate the black round tub.

Lightning Maroon Clownfish Offspring
Mike Doty came over to check everything out, as he is in charge from now until my return from the Boston club’s event where I’m speaking this weekend.
Blame this guy if it doesn't work! Just Kidding! - Mike Doty, Maroon Clownfish Breeder and custodian of Lightning Maroon clownfish fry in my absence.
As of noon today, there are likely a couple hundred baby clownfish zooming around. A quick check of the water showed that rotifer densities were already quite minimal, so another 3 gallons of sieved rotifers were added.
And that’s it – I’ll have to write this up more thoroughly sometime next week (assuming time permits).
