Whoa!

I've been noticing that some of my normally docile Black Axil Chromis have been acting a bit squirrly lately,usually a harbinger of spawning activity. But as I've had these guys awhile I figured it was another false alarm and paid it no mind. Well, this afternoon I stepped out for less than two hours and check THIS out!

I apologize for the softness of picture but I'm shooting through very thick acrylic at a 45 degree angle.


This one is a FTS (Don't look at the 'scape as it is still a long way from growing in and is hideous!) to illustrate just how large of a clutch I've got here. It's on the left, btw.

Guess my parameters are pretty much in order.

wow, if thats the 500 gal tank and the clutch is that big there are 1000's of eggs. congrats, are you ever planning on trying to raise any?

can I ask what size tunze pumps you run in that size tank?

[64Ivy]

No plans to raise them but I do plan to photographically chronicle the entire event. Tunzes are 6155's, btw. Currently operating at approx 40%-60%.

[shifty51008]

very nice, looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Tank is comming along nicely Michael.. I actually like the scape in a little when the corals grow out you won't even see it.
