This is NOT the wild....this is a glass box we call an aquarium.......you have to make sure you have another tank for them, and you have to feed them special food that you have to culture
BUY THE BOOK I told you about

Dude- You will not have any successful batches without extra tanks and doing it the right way. To make $ off of breeding fish, well then you'll need several breeding tanks at once.
Master beginner fish first. Then, we'll talk about breeding fish and more advanced topics.

I don't. I don't want to spend time and money on eggs and rotifers. What CAN I do to prevent those 2?

Free food for the tank...you'll want to be sure that if fry DO hatch that you clean them out of any filter media you're running before they decompose.
The downside of keeping a breeding pair of clowns is that they get more aggressive when guarding a clutch of eggs.

I am weighing options still and am wondering#
:
Is $582 enough for RO unit and filtration, etc. For my 75?
Can a antennata and radiata lion for in my 75?
Can antennata and radiata go with snowflake?
Thanks and happy holidays.

For an RO on your 75 this is adequate ---> https://www.saltwaterfish.com/Coralife-40Energy-Savers41-Pure-Flo-II-50gpd-Reverse-Osmosis-Unit_p_2036.html
This is ideal ---> https://www.saltwaterfish.com/Coralife-40Energy-Savers41-Pure-Flo-II-50gpd-Ro-Unit-w-Post-Deion_p_2330.html
As far as other filtration, invest the rest in a good skimmer and water movers.

As long as you can get more... but... to save $... you can get 20lb of live rock and 20lb of dry base rock (which is cheaper) and the dry base rock will eventually become live.
