FTS's only. I'm sure that I missed some great (macro) shots. I know that I missed a great pic when my Angelfish tried to inhale a cloud of worm spawn.

Whoa is right! Now Gary, is it because your tank is so clean and well taken care of that they spawn or is that a natural thing? You said your fish were having problems with this happening? How do you feel on the spawning?

good questions.
As for spawning.... let's just say that I'm all for it
It's a good sign.
I'm sure that heavy feedings and regular water changes triggered this latest spawning event. Since it was such a heavy spawn my fishes were breathing rapidly at one point. If it had been any "worse" I would have done a water change.

Awesome. :thumbsup:
Do you think that lunar/solar cycles play any role in aquarium spawnings? We're getting closer to the equinox now, so I wonder if that could be a factor.
This sparked my curiosity and initiated a google search on "lunar cycles ocean spawn". There's lots of cool studies with some very unusual ideas and outcomes that come up.
It stinks being able to read only abstracts, since I don't want to shell out $34 per article on Springerlink.com!

good point!
good point!
lunar/solar cycles definitely play a factor in these spawning events.
Although I don't run any type of lunar simulation program my aquarium does receive varying degrees of sunlight throughout the year.

Sohal + Achilles = recipe for disaster
*fwiw* I'm not an expert but I'm speculating that the Pocillipora in my aquarium feasted on spawn.
