I have 2 ocellaris clownfish that were in a 75gal reef tank now ive seen eggs before ( no clue what happend to them ) I went and got a 10gal tank to put the rock with the eggs on it into the 10gal i put a little bit more live rock in to about 3-4lbs total.
The tank came with a 18watt light ,heater,and a 10gal filter . I put a zoo-med power sweep 214 ( about 160gph opened a tiny bit to help move water)
i also put spong's over the filter so nothing would get sucked up into it .no sand on the bottom of tank just 6 small pic.of rock
My ? is will this work and if so how long will the eggs hatch. will post pic as soon as i can...Thank you 4 looking and helping

they might hatch, but the air line really is the best way to do it, that tank shouldnt have a filter on it eather
the eggs will not handle temprature change at all, the air line should be placed right under the eggs so when the bubble passes by it will make the eggs move...
if they do hatch your going to be very sad to watch them all die, as from the sound of it you dont have the phyto growing and the rotifiers going eather yet...how do you plan to feed the fry?
