Saddlebacks at it again!

[Blennybite]

I've been lurking around RC since 2013 when I started my 90reef. I'm about to embark on a new Red Sea Reefer 525xl adventure but thought I might start a thread about my pair of saddlebacks. They have laid eggs 4 times now and I can tell, that they are about to do it again. This time though, I'm ready. Have my Rotifer culture that's been going successfully now for a couple weeks. Have brine shrimp eggs and enrichments. Have a 10 gal breeder set up too.The absolute good news though is that I'm pretty sure that they have picked the egg laying spot...as the wetside of my magnavore glass cleaner!! How easy could that be!! On hatch night, all I gotta do is reach in and remove the magnet!!!
Anyways, if there is interest, I'll try and chronicle my adventures into this part of the reefing world.
I'll see if I can post some pics...

Absolutely do a thread on this. But there is a breeding forum here that you should post in. It's a little further down the main forum page from this forum.

Don't let he egg expose to air with transfer and use DT tank water for the hatch tank. That way there is minimal stress on the eggs

Good advice Orion and Dk..thank you
Should be easy to keep eggs in water when I go to remove them if they lay them on the magnet.. Much easier than on a big piece of rock.. Like they did last time..
I'll post under the breed section once they do..
Still trying to figure out how to post pics...

A lot of people are using a 4x4 square piece of bathroom tile for them to lay eggs on. Works really well.
