No problem Rob.

This is such a vast and interesting hobby. I had a rare occurrence the other day. I bought corals and clams at the IMAC show and they were delivered Thursday afternoon. I acclimated things over the next two hours. and then IT happened. You've probably heard the way that clam farmers induce clams to spawn is to stress them. They take them out of the ocean let them stand in the sun for a couple of hours and then put them back into the ocean. There may be more to it than that but the stress causes the clams to spawn. An hour after acclimating my clams it happened...........



This one went like this for two hours. Every few minutes another eruption. It was exciting!!! The other one wasn't quite as energetic....



There was so many eggs in the water column the tank was cloudy.......



I'm not sure you can tell how clowdy the water column is in this scaled down version of the pic. Cool stuff.
