Coral Spawning in MY home Reef Tank !!

[@jamiecraggs9015]

Congrats Deven! Its a very cool thing to witness. Looking at the size, colour and shape of those eggs its definitely one of your Acros that has spawned. The embryos take 4 days to develop before they're ready to settlement and so sadly you wont get any settlement. Next time if you keep some in a petri dish for a few hours to see cell division. If you see that then you've had more than 1 genotype of the same species spawn. I'm recording with Adam tomorrow night to try and explain how people can attempt to rear corals in a home set up.

Thank you Jamie! It turned out to be my Miyagi Tort that spawned, at the very end of the video i put some clips of the polyps releasing the larvae. Next time it happens I may try and collect and attempt to rear them. Ill be sure to list to the podcast for your pro tips :)

[@bensimpson4091]

where will this video be? very interested

[@Ethancr1432]

​​@@bensimpson4091 I believe Jamie is referencing Adam Sutherlands podcast. His youtube channel is FragGarage.

Gamete not Gameze. Congrats🎉

[@ReefDudes]

Sounds legit. Thx :)

[@moereefer]

Sweet I had a bubble coral spawn it was very small 10000+ I guess much smaller then sps corals it happened a hour before lights out

[@jonjensen6036]

This is awesome, did you happen to notice anything popping up around the tank as a result? Also is there any way I could email or pm you? I would love to pick your brain about DIY battery backups. It’s on my to-do list to set something up for my mighty jet return pump but it seems there are not really any decent off the shelf options. I get most all the wiring and concepts my biggest question is from the design side whether it is better to use a relay to change over or like I’ve seen in a few of your videos just running the whole setup off a battery and charger? Curious to know how those setups have worked out for you in the long run. Keep up the awesome content!!

[@ReefDudes]

No babies, I realized I would need to have a second genetic specimen and I’m assuming mine are all the same. What pumps do you you want backup power. I have done a few differ experiments and variations. Now.

Congrats Coral Dad.

[@Hozay1]

What a joy to see. Reef on.

[@dusk1947]

Congratulations. I love that we can now achieve this in a home setting. Now if only we could get better at intentionally doing it :) While reefing is in the baby steps of home spawning, it offers such a potential.

[@ReefDudes]

It’s pretty awesome! I have had rock flowers spawn but this is the first time an acropora has!

[@larssloth6220]

Very cool.

[@kaseywilson7576]

That's so cool congrats

[@Reefbelontv]

well done🎉

[@ReefDudes]

Thank you!

[@queencityreefs]

Wow! This is so cool! Congrats 🎉

[@ReefDudes]

Thank you!

[@DesertReefing]

At awesome dude. That’s one way of telling you your tank is doing good. 😊

[@ReefDudes]

Mother nature level achievement! haha, now.. i wonder if i can make it happen again!

[@Sturgisreef]

Awesome to see in our reef tanks, I hope I get to experience it someday. I was listening to an episode of reef beef and Rich had mentioned to turn off all flow to watch them slowly raise to the surface.

[@ReefDudes]

Too late for that, but i did turn off the return pumps to give some a chance to settle in tank

[@jacobmills1982]

So cool! You have certainly reached next level reefing!

[@ReefDudes]

It was an awesome surprise to come home to.

[@danchac01]

Wow so cool 👍👍

[@IMGbaugher]

That is amazing bro.

[@ReefDudes]

Thanks!

[@jackspencer63]

had a rhodactis spawn over 3 days at 4 am AEST 2 weeks ago

[@ReefDudes]

Very cool! I have never seen on spawn, half thought they split like nems

[@jackspencer63]

@ReefDudes There were so many eggs. It's amazing to see it happen.

[@bensimpson4091]

there is nothing inside like a chicken egg. these will morph into larve settle and grown into corals (if the conditions are right). kind of like frog eggs rather than something growing inside that hatches

[@gabesreef]

That’s really cool. Did you see if it affected any readings on any of your auto testers

[@ReefDudes]

ca/alk/mag were fine, not sure on po4/no3

[@gabesreef]

@@ReefDudes roller mat for the win 🏆

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

Awesome! I wonder if any will take hold and start growing

[@ReefDudes]

Would be pretty cool if some did

[@AndrewLiakas]

Do you have pocillapora in there? Is so that would be my guess.

[@ReefDudes]

I do, but it was miyagi tort, I have a clip of it at the end of the video ;)

[@wes9412]

That's sooo cool.. I have a question about automatic testing. I'm in the market for a automatic tester and was wondering what would be your suggestion. I'm looking at the Reefbot , mastertronic and trident even tho i would rather do more than the 3 test that the trident does. what would you recommend . thanks for any help .. love the channel.

[@bioaquarium3683]

Hey man, that is amazing! congratulations, did you try to achieve that, or it was random? thanks!

[@ReefDudes]

It was random. But I’m stocked it happened!

[@CruzArias_ElegantCorals]

❤❤❤

[@TheJohnny220]

Hi Devin did you keep a moon cycle on the tank? Does ecotech allow that

[@ReefDudes]

I believe lunar was disabled but I had it as part of my schedule

[@Lookingglassaquarium]

Hope u kepttt some in a breeder box in the tank see what they turn into

[@jamesgreen9372]

Congratulations !!! That is a fantastic accomplishment. Those who are interested in this field realise what a challenge that can be. You must be doing something right, Jim

[@ReefDudes]

Thanks Jim! I was pretty excited to spot it happening!!
