I've got a good problem, clownfish coming fast with high survival rates. 5 out of 6 hatch tanks are housing baby percs and gsm's.
I have 2 more nests to hatch later this week. I really didn't expect this production rate. Obviously I may soon reach a period where I won't be worried about hatches but with keeping the fry growing.
Any suggestions on an alternative to more 10g tanks for grow out?

How much room do you have?

Not enough. I just got a 29g bio cube and will move my occelaris pair into it and regain the last 10g hatch tank. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
I have two perc hatches that are 2 weeks apart, so size wise they are close but I don't know if mixing them is a good thing, will have to do some checking on that.

I mix mine if that helps any. Maybe use some pails as grow outs? 10g tanks are only like 20 bucks here...

you could always get some big tupaware containors, and divide them out into sections.

the long tupaware may work best.

chep and effective????
