Wednesday, July 4, 2012 10:58 AM (permalink) 0 Thanks Kathy. Thats good to know you are using them. I think they are the best choice I can find and will use them as well.  What size fortiflex container are you using? How many babies? How long will you keep them in that same container?   #33 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:BRT sighting at Walmart! Wednesday, July 4, 2012 12:20 PM (permalink) 0 I think its 17-20 gallons. I've raised neon gobies in them and kept them in for the better part of 2 months.  I've raised clownfish in them as well, but I usually want them in a glass tank before the month is up. The trouble with them is you can 't observe the babies until they get bigger and get some color on them.  For instance, I raised some clownfish in one recently, and had no idea how many babies I had until metamorphosis a week later.   check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #34 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:BRT sighting at Walmart! Wednesday, July 4, 2012 12:23 PM (permalink) 0 For anythiing longer than a week, I do recommend using a sponge filter and perhaps a UV.  For the neons I used a bucket sump for the BRT with sponge filter, 100 micron filter bag, and UV on the return, powered with a maxi-jet 900 or 1200. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #35 Clownfish Depot Total Posts : 99 Scores: 0 Reward points : 133 Joined: 6/29/2012 Location: Downingtown, PA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:BRT sighting at Walmart! Wednesday, July 4, 2012 12:42 PM (permalink) 0 Thanks for the info Kathy. It makes sense about not being able to observe the lownfish babies. I do like how my glass bottoms are painted white and I would miss that with the BRT's. I wonder if I could paint the inside bottom of the BRT's white so it would be easier to observe and keep the bottom clean. IS there a paint you know of that's safe for this?

I think I will try the BRT's without paint and see if I can manage   #38 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Scores: 29 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:BRT sighting at Walmart! Wednesday, July 4, 2012 11:14 PM (permalink) 0 FYI, for the someone who asked - mine are Duraflex.  I really, really like that built in volume gage on them.  They hold 16 gallons max.  Standard bulkheads and holes made with cheap regular wood-type hole saws worked fine on them.   #39 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Scores: 14 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:BRT sighting at Walmart!

Thanks Brian   Interesting idea.  I always thought the primary point of using a BRT the fact that it is "B" = Black, but perhaps it is only the sides that need to be black, and a light-colored bottom might not be a problem for the larvae, and aid observation.  Does anybody else have any thoughts on this?     #40 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 123 > | Showing page 2 of 3, messages 21 to 40 of 54 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
