For those of you who have had corals spawn, what is your lighting and temp schedule?

For those of you who had corals spawn, what was your light and temp schedule? Did you change it through the year? Run lunar? Have any other light pollution like house/shop lights on? Change temp? What type of coral and when did it occur (time of year)?

Great topic, but no traffic thus far.
I know spawning is sychronized with moon, tidal, temperature, general coral health, colony size being proposed or identifide as working factors that cue up wild spawning but I have not followed the science reporting the understanding that exists in this complex question. I got old and lazy and maybe too scattered to keep up and learn new things but I am very glad that you have proposed this general question as a topic for people on here to discuss. I;m not sure why there isn't a lot of people offering up answers other than sexual reproduction in corals with broadcast spawning isn't as easy as cutting frags and superglueing them down to propigate new colonies.

So I'll punt; (and bump this up to see if we can get people engaged to discuss this.)

@Corals.com anything you'd be willing to share? I know you've recently had some torches spawn at your facility.

I'm a huge fan of Jamie. I've read and watched all of his stuff. Amazing work!
