    That should work. I will look around to see what to feed them. I would think the something from reeds would work just fine though.

    Here is an article, I'm just not to sure about feeding what they suggest: Growing Out Brine Shrimp

    "I mix one teaspoon of baby food pureed sweet potatoes and one teaspoon of baby food peas into one cup of water. I usually add a drop of liquid vitamin supplement, and often for good measure, I'll add a small amount of some fatty acid enrichment mixture such as Super Selco. Then I put it all in a small resealable bottle like the kind used for soda or water and shake well."

    All this stuff about adding pods is crap. It won't work. Most pods that are farmed are tidepool species (very adaptable) which have no real predators and therefore aren't weary of fish or pumps and will become decimated quite quickly. If you really want to do something like this, I would plumb 2 smaller tanks into a single refugium.

    Well to get back to the actual question in the post... I have an occ. clown and a Bangaii which seem to be best buds. They stick together most of the time in the tank, and sleep together in the same corner at night

    For the sake of pipe fish nutrition Nutramar Ova. I believe that is what Jerry feeds his.

    Well the Bangaii only really cares for frozen brine, mysis, etc. I also sometimes add in flake and pellets for the clown and others in the tank.

    The Nutramar Ova was for the pipe fish. I would look into some type of phyto to feed the brine shrimp. Or you could just forget about the brine shrimp and grow out rotifers.
