Shutting off Q

[authentic]

My clowns are spawning,I have a 160 gal reef tank full of sps... I am concerned with shutting down all of my pumps and return for hours waiting to catch the fry,,I bought a large air pump(had a small one but didn't think it was enough)planning on shutting everything,pushing a lot of air,leave it off for 3-4hours,wale up and cat h the fry with a siphon ,thoughts on this plan??

Did the clowns lay on a rock that can be removed? I think instead of risking all your SPS, move the rock to a different tank or even a bucket with a powerhead and heater, and after they've all hatched put the rock back.

Can not remove,,last time I placed a tile they moved to the opposite side of the tank and stopped spawning for months

You can use some strategically placed hardline tube and and air pump to collect up the fry in a container as they hatch. @Paul B.

Do you have an APEX? I usually turn down the flow on my tank at night to collect my Manderin spawns but the flow kicks back up after x amount of time
