•  Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself)

  Author Message jungle pete Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 36 Joined: 1/2/2012 Location: Melbourne, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Wednesday, June 13, 2012 11:00 AM (permalink) 0 I posted this flyer at the local university, FIT, and didn’t receive much interest. So I figured that I’d try a more specific, yet broader audience, here, and some other forums.  My intent is to work intensively on raising these fish over the next year and possibly involve other equally excited individuals in the process.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how I could find interested people or if you are interested yourself and have questions.

That's a good question KathyL. I probably need to put together a simple website that answers that. A website with some sort of relevant bio and also a description of my facility here and what I have been doing up until now. Is that a good way to go about it? I'm new to forums, and making websites for that matter. I do want to share what I have been doing here, but I think that would be most easily explained with lots of pictures and captions. Which may be easier on a website then on a forum. Any thoughts? Is there a general forum format to introduce what I have been doing? Should this question be a separate thread? I'll work on a website.   #4 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Thursday, June 14, 2012 9:33 AM (permalink) 0 There are forums here for "system builds" and for breeding journals. We recently added family specific forms for angelfish, and others. You can access them by clicking on the "forum list" button on the bottom left of any page. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #5 jungle pete Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 36 Joined: 1/2/2012 Location: Melbourne, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Thursday, June 14, 2012 10:34 AM (permalink) 0 Cool. Thanks fishtal. I decided to post more details of what I have going on in a blog: http://flameangelfish.blogspot.com/ Right now it is just the very basics, but I intend to fill in more detail in the very near future. Thanks for looking.   #6 wdt Total Posts : 156 Scores: 0 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Thursday, June 14, 2012 2:17 PM (permalink) 0 Are those larvae catchers on the sides of the brood barrels? Can you post more detailed pictures?   #7 jungle pete Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 36 Joined: 1/2/2012 Location: Melbourne, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Thursday, June 14, 2012 6:02 PM (permalink) 0 Egg collector for wdt (I was in Ashville NC last weekend visiting my sister) [link=javascript:void(InsertSmiley('%5Battachment=0%5D'))]IMG_0873.jpg[/link] [link=javascript:void(InsertSmiley('%5Battachment=1%5D'))]IMG_0878.jpg[/link] [link=javascript:void(InsertSmiley('%5Battachment=2%5D'))]IMG_0880.jpg[/link] Usually it's cleaned of algae and scum. But I haven't collected eggs in half a year so there was no point in cleaning it. I put in the pvc "J" piece, netting bag and "whisper bio bag" divider before collecting at night. Then I remove these parts, with eggs in the net bag, a couple hours after lights out. The main unit is a tupperware like pitcher I bought at "big lots", though I saw them some where else recently. Maybe Walmart? I found that paint sieve bags from the hardware store have a good mesh size, just small enough to catch the eggs but big enough to allow the rest of the crud through. The pvc "j" piece helps keep the  eggs on the surface, less disturbed     Attached Image(s)   #8 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Sunday, June 17, 2012 1:53 PM (permalink) 0 Hi Pete!  What an excellent adventure you are on!  Very exciting to see for sure.    I notice you use SeaChem Marine Buffer which is a product I also really like.  I would like to encourage you to try bulk Sodium bicarbonate as it should have the same effect you describe - maintain alkalinity without directly altering pH - except at a much lower cost.  Sodium carbonate is another similar additive which is the one that will directly alter the pH.  Both of these products can be bought from www.bulkreefsupply.com for very reasonable cost.  Essentially, Sodium bicarbonate is baking soda, and sodium carbonate is "baked" baking soda.   You mention that in your college years you wished an opportunity like this would have come up for you, and I feel the same way! Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #9 jungle pete Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 36 Joined: 1/2/2012 Location: Melbourne, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Sunday, June 17, 2012 8:03 PM (permalink) 0 Thanks for the advice and encouragement EasterEggs. I might be increasing my sea water consumption significantly in the near future so a cheeper buffer alternative is worth looking into. Thank you.   #10 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:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Monday, June 18, 2012 4:37 AM (permalink) 0 One can also bake one's own baking soda to get sodium carbonate. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #11 jungle pete Total Posts : 8 Scores: 0 Reward points : 36 Joined: 1/2/2012 Location: Melbourne, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Who wants to live in Melbourne Florida and raise Centropyge?(... besides myself) Monday, June 18, 2012 9:17 AM (permalink) 0 I have a fish room lit up on a daily light cycle all year long. I have five 55 gallon drums in front of the house (for sea-water collection). And now I'll be baking large trays of white powder. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm up to something illicit. Seriously though, I appreciate the input and it seems, for my situation, a route worth exploring further.
