What exactly do I need to breed Clowns?

[thatdarndragon]

Sorry to create a new thread, but I want my question fresh for everyone to see.
Im going to my LFS after work today to get everything I need to prepare for the potential arrival of baby clownfish.
I currently have a 5 gal tank with an air pump and a heater (its a bowfront tank). I am planning on buying another tank as soon as I find homes for my bettas and Chinese Algea Eater.
Can someone give me a list of all things I need so I can make a checklist? Like.. the names of the baby foods I need, whatever I need to get the fry tank established, ect ect. I want to buy everything at once so I wont have to keep going back. What do I need to get to establish the tank? Im nervous about that since there will be no sand or rock to establish it..
teach me, oh Mastas of Clowns!

Clownfishes book by Joyce Wilkerson
Plankton Culture Manual by Hoff and Snell
Small tank to rear the eggs ,2.5 to 5 will work
bigger tank , 10 to 20 for raising the fry
Sponge filters or any internal filter
The cultures as I mentioned in other thread [Rotifers to feed the fry , Phyto to feed the Rotifers] .
air pump and air stone for egg tank
air pump , rigid and soft air line , lights , clear containers [ 2 liter bottles work great] , for you culture station .
Should get you started , sure I`m missing something . The books will also get you going on how everything works , what is needed , and has really good info for rearing clownfish .
