I put mom in the tank temporarily and she is still in full on battle mode with any fish that comes near the strainer.

Sweet!!!! I know a guy with tons of Eba fry in a paint strainer Too! Mom will go hard for sure, make sure she doesn't wear herself out. Nature's design is procreation and she doesnt know any better..

Yep, can't argue with the coralB fry system if there is a better way I haven't seen it.

50lb bags for $29 on amazon not to bad. A lot cheaper than I paid per pound

Yeah but shipping is about $100 bucks from Big Al's. I'm going to see what my LFS can order some in for. I have pool filter sand in one of my other tanks but I just don't like the color. I want a tan sand. The pfs is too light.

Where did you get your terra-cotta pot from? I'm trying to find one to use with my 125. Going to build rocks around it for the cave effect and use silicone to stick the rock to it. Possibly break it in half, to the best of my ability, to make 2 caves. Haha

They were in my backyard from previous owner but I saw some at lowes last time I was there. I like the cave idea, not sure if I'll leave mine in or not. Cutting in half might work, the fish love it, but it takes up a lot of swim area

I couldn't find any at lowes today when I was there. Maybe I can find some online somewhere. Do you think your it is a 5 gal or 3 gal pot? It's the perfect size for what I'm trying to do. If nothing else, I have some slate rock I could use for my build the neighbor generously gave me. I have everything else except for the rock at this point.
And I agree on the swim area but I think if I can get it to break in half I will have the perfect set up for my tank. I'm starting on the sand/substrate tomorrow. I will update with pics.
Dremel and a cutting disk.
