Awesome, congrats! I was using this "exact" same method, and I couldn't get my larvae past day 11 I think it was. I tried a few different methods and had no luck. It seems some people raise these fairly easily where others struggle and struggle. I can't seem to figure out the difference between those that succeed and those that fail, otherwise maybe I could succeed! Haha!
Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

I can't think of anything unique in my simple setup. I don't get overly aggressive with cleaning (as you can see in the video!). I do a simple bottom vacuum every 1-2 days (usually daily once I start the flake food), and a 50% water change every other day with ASW from an adjacent broodstock tank.

Good question that I can't really answer in any detail! I put in about half of a 2 liter bottle- worth in the morning. I get 2-3 feelings from each bottle. After a bottle is 48 hours old, I add some phyto to feed the bbs. I sometimes skip a feeding for the kreisel if there seems to be enough bbs circulating (at least 1-2/ml by rough eyeball estimate.

I counted somewhere around 20 settled as of today, still about that many larvae swimming around. Here's a short video of several settled shrimp, and an occassional larvae. Sorry for the algae on the glass that partially obscures the view of a couple of them. They are about 7-8mm long at this time.

Here's a short video of the juveniles, now about 6 weeks old, when I was transferring them to their growout tank. The largest is about 1" long now. Active little guys!

How quickly the kids grow up. I took a half dozen to trade in at my lfs, and one of the, was already holding eggs!

I was surprised how quickly these grew too, must have been the first ones to settle. They were 3+ cm long already. Most are still 2-2.5cm, and I didn't want the big ones to start cannabalizing. I really hadn't realized one already had eggs until I caught them.

Here is a short video of my L. boggessi crawling around the frag/grow-out tub. This was taken today, at 62 DPS. I noticed again that one of them is carrying eggs. They like to congregate at the potato chip coral. Wow - I just looked back at this video today, and cringed at how much hair algae there is. Really looks like an orphan tank. But in reality, it has been transofrmed into a growout tank with some random coral frags tossed in!
