Anyone local breeding clowns?

I'm looking for someone that is making there own rodifiers. I'm really hoping there is someone local that is doing this that I can learn more from. I have a pair of clowns that have been laying 100s of eggs every couple weeks and I'm trying my first attempt at breeding them. I am going to order rotifiers but I know someone local is doing it I can get this stuff from. I meet a guy at the coral swap in Columbus a couple years back that was breeding clowns! Anyone no who that was? He had a whole display setup. Thanks for reading!

I have been raising Rotifers for almost a year the bestway is to grow phyto first then get a roti culture and put them in plastic buckets I usually run three batches you will need a 55 silk mesh screen. If you need any help give mea shout get a good air pump valves and heavy stones

There is a couple of people on the csea forum that have good experience raising clowns if need any help.

If you were planning on going to the C-Sea swap, chuggy listed some rotifers for sale on Fragswapper.

I'm wanting to find someone local. I know it's easy to order the rotifiers online. It would just be awsome to find someone educated on the subject. Does anyone know if I'm safe to remove my breeding clowns into a seperate tank? They are laying so many and I don't want to disturb that. But getting the fry out when they hatch isent that easy with all the rock and coral. Thanks alot!
