Are these gonna be internet fry? How big do you have to grow them before you can get rid of them?

Most will be internet fry. They need to be at least 1.5" to get anything for them. 2" is preferred. I might have some until they are full grown with this economy, who knows. Tangs usually sell at a smaller size, but I will keep mine until the 1.5-2" range because they are extremely fragile at that size.
The grow out tank is handy, I almost sold it last year, glad I didn't.

How do you have the filtration and water circulation going on that thing. I see the PVC on each end. Are the dividers just slotted? It's kinda hard to tell. I worked at a place called Plastic Supply for a couple yrs and worked with acrylic so I can only imagine what all went in to building that thing. What'd you put it together with, 100% silicone? I've always wondered if it would work on acrylic.

I've always wondered if it would work on acrylic. Not sure how that one is built but i use to make my owne tarantula cages out of acrylic ,and the glue they make for it works awesome its not silicone the glue almost welds the acrylic togeather once it drys there is not taking it apart. I got the stuff i used from Tapplastics.com they have the cheapest prices on acylic i could find ,and they also will cut the sheets into whatever sizes you want before they ship it to you. so all i would have to do is drap up what i wanted ,and they would cut it and send it to me. Nvr tried a fish tank lol that scares me to death. |

Mine was already built. Doesn't look hard, but I wouldn't want to do it. If you were to buy any long tank, you could divide it yourself using whatever you need. Mine works great, but they need to be a little bigger than fry so they don't get through the slots. It happened to me with peacocks and lithobates. Good thing I can tell them apart, because if it were 2 peacocks, I would be in trouble.
