Nice!
I'm thinking tonight is hatch night for mine. Will pull the pot in a couple of hours. Got the Rotifers culturing in a bucket. If I have fry in the morning I'll toss in some Rots and keep my fingers crossed.

Well, checked this morning and only a few have hatched. Maybe 6-10 that I can see. Still a lot of fry attached to the pot. I went ahead and put in some rotifers for the ones that hatched. Now have some light in the fry tank so they can see the rots to feed on.
Should I leave light on and then blackout tank again tonight to see if the others hatch, or do something different?

I did the lights out last night for about 3 hours, didn't seem to make a difference. Thought it was worth a shot.
Fed them this morning, looks to be around 6 or so fry swimming around. Keeping my fingers crossed. It is puzzling why my hatch rate is so low. Guessing something around only 5% have hatched out of the first 2 clutches.

When I pulled the pot out of the fry tank this morning, you could still see silver eyes as though they were still alive. I guess the next batch I will try less bubbles and maybe even leave the pot in a few extra days if not many initially hatch.

Update:
As of this morning, it appears that 5 or 6 are still alive. 2 were swimming around and the others were on the bottom, but did move on occasion. If still alive when I get home this afternoon, I will add a small amount of TDO Chroma Boost - A. Also started feeding the clowns some frozen foods. Mysis & Reef Frenzy. Already had some in the freezer. I read yesterday where some people greatly increased their hatch rate by upping the quality & quantity of food to their clowns. Worth a shot.

As of this morning, 2 - are still alive & swimming around. Possibly another one or two, just didn't have much time before work to stare into the tank.
It's hard to see them with all the rotifers swimming around. I haven't had to add any rotifers to the fry tank in 2 days, because they are multiplying faster than the fry can eat them, lol.

lol
Well, I checked this morning and couldn't find any fry swimming. Might have lost the last couple...I'll check again this afternoon and stir the tank some and if nothing's alive, I guess I will go ahead and get the tank ready for the next batch. I'll keep trying as long as they keep laying, lol.

Update:
No new clutches of eggs for some reason. She laid 2 clutches and nothing for 3 weeks now. Still have my rotifer setup going, which is a real pain since there is nothing to feed them too. Not sure what has happened to prevent her from laying more eggs.
