Breeding Preparation - Clownfish (post-metamorphosis)

The following post is simply a place for me to get thoughts into the physical world and to compile information found from multiple places into one.  This post is a work in progress.

Items Needed:
  • Toys (PVC joints, anemone look-alikes)
Equipment needed:
  • 10 Gallon Tank
  • Rigid airline tubing to act as siphon to clean
  • Heater
  • Light
  • Timer
  • Powerfilter?
Environmental requirements:
  • Salinity - 1.020
  • Water temperature - 80*F
  • Lighting - same as parents
Thoughts:

Would it be easier on the this and subsequent batches if this tank also became their grow-out tank?  Instead of moving fish based upon size into subsequently larger tanks, perhaps have post-metamorphosis tanks large enough to be their final tank.  So instead of using a 10 gallon tank, perhaps bump it up to 20 or 30 gallons...
