Breeding Setups - post your setups

[nicholas76]

People,

lets pool some resources.

can members start posting pics of there breeding setups. There own or others they can recommend and why. ( no farm set ups ok lol )

( Ben im not classifying yours as a farm just yet LOL )

[Merrilyn]

Good idea Nick. Okay folks, let's see what you've got.

[DR.V]

2-3 Ft tank, one heater and one thermometer.

Bare bottom, back and side painted blue.

Sponge filter, light, and a breeding cone.

W/c everyday.

Nice and simple ^^

[mistakes r crucial]

18 BB tanks @ 600 x 460 x 470 on one system with a 4ft sump and sponge filters in all of them. I can isolate some or all of the tanks if I need to. 3 of the tanks are 4fters which I've divided. http://community.webshots.com/user/mistakesarecrucial Gradually filling it up with pairs.

[tank]

i have two 2x2x2
1 2.5 x1.5x1.5
1 4x2x2 grow out all sponge filters
then i went over to mistakes webshots and iam gonna start all over the man is mad go look

[mistakes r crucial]

I get taken away by men in little white coats at least once a fortnight lol. Might look like a lot to look after Tank but its probably much easier than taking care of half a dozen stand alone tanks. When the grow out system is running at full bore we can change 3000 litres of water in 20 minutes whilst sipping a couple of Chardonnays, helll it's hard work but someones got to do it.

Nice people!!


mistakes r crucial - good luck in your endevours thats a fair dinkum killer setup you have there.

[tank]

off topic i know but
mistakes ryan tells me u have nice fish as well but where r they

[Merrilyn]

MAC, that's a very impressive set up. If you ever need anyone to run that fishroom for you...................................
especially the waterchanges and the chards,
just give me a call :thumb

Seriously, I think it's time we saw some more recent pics of your gorgeous discus. How about it :wink:

[mistakes r crucial]

We were only talking about updating photographs the other day but unfortunately the digital camera has gone down South for the forseeable future. I'll see what I can do but yes, most of them have grown in to some very nice looking fish and starting to pair off.

Merrilyn, I sure will let you know, its all about timing really :lol:

Hi Nick,

[kinezo]

it should work out well...

[Ben]

Thanks Kinezo,
I thought of setting this way my self.
breeders on the top row and grow out tank on the bottom! :lol:
