Breeder tank requirements

C

charley75

Those of you successfully breeding H. erectus, what do your setups include? Trying to compile some info on the breeding requirements.
Things like what kind of lighting, skimmers, LR or not, live plants or fake, sand bed or not, flow, and of course actual water conditions. This is strictly for the breeding pairs though, not the fry tanks.
Thanks in advance for any and all input.

My setup is pretty simple: 30G tall eclipse (all in one filtration) with 65w 50/50 pc. Lots of live rock, caulpera and a few softie corals. No skimmer, no uv. I keep the temperature at about 74-75, salinity 1.024, ph=8.2. That's about all I test for. I feed hikari frozen mysis.

This setup has worked very well for me but I will upgrading to a 42g cube in a few weeks with sump and refugium because I just love the look of cubes.

Charley,

Ours tank parameters are pretty much the same as Carolyn's. You can check out some pictures and other details at:
