Awesomeeee!!!
 
Holy cow that's amazing! Do you use moonlights? Adjust flow based on the season? Anything else fancy to mimic wild spawning conditions?
 
I use moonlights with a timer on/off at the same time. But the previous events happened the day after dosed magnesium and this event just after increase the effluent from my calcium reactor. My opinion is those events is related with the water chemistry no with the moonlights. The moon is only for syncronize the event. this is just my opinion.
