It's Coral Spawning Season in Richard Ross' Laboratory | #89 

I've had this episode bookmarked for about 3 weeks, so I am TOTALLY late to the party. However, I still have thoughts. What Richard is doing is incredibly inspiring. I have been trying, and failing, to spawn Cynarina at home for 2 years now, currently out of luck after BJD wiped my whole population, but this summer I will be rebuilding bigger and better. The 3 months of darkness trick, floating baskets for eggs, and scope for cleaning plugs are all concepts I got from Rich over the years, and I am incredibly excited to get the project back in order. Episodes like this are incredibly important for the future of this hobby! I hope to see Rich back on soon to talk more about the Hyacinthus spawn.

Raj nailed it at the end. Seeing something cause so much emotion and excitement by learning something new is what keeps the hobby fun. And most people won't understand why this is a big deal, but i'm excited to see how it evolves

Im loving this collaboration of Christmas cheer

Amazing show!! Always awesome to hear what Richard Ross has in store for us all! Thanks for this one RB! -Blaine

Great show! The fact that this is happening in home aquaria is nothing short of fucking awesome!

A topic I personally hope will continue to grow and expand in this hobby. Shoring up one more sustainable approach to Reefing long-term. I love when the industry moves forward on captive aquaculture. And we likely need industry help for numerous "difficult to spawn" species, like certain pelagic spawning fish. But, hobbyist could make such a notable dent in spawning corals. All it takes is for one hobbyist to champion there favorite species, to move the ball forward on this one.

Loved seeing this, spawning has been of personal interest to me for a few years and exited to see it become more consistent over time as it opens the door to trying new approaches.

Thanks so much for these fun geeked out shows, Richard your such a geek but truly cool, Thanks Guys

Can’t wait to see how your tank turns out Remy! I appreciate you guys and the time that goes into reef therapy. #whatsinyourwater

Rich is like a mad scientist 😂 it’s amazing what he is doing

Reef Beef!!!love it when my podcasts join forces.

When your two favorite podcasts collide 🥳 #whatsinyourwater

Thanks for the great discussion guys! #whatsinyourwater

My Yellow tang was bullying my much larger purple tang. I monitored them for a couple of days and realised they were having territorial issues, the purple tang was too stubborn to leave that spot but too weak to win the battle. I ended up adding couple more caribsea donut shaped rocks creating more caves and that has eliminated the aggression.

Love the podcasts. Keep em coming #whatsinyourwater

#whatsinyourwater love the podcast guys. I look forward to it every week, and love your beer tips too.

great stream, inspiring topic

Raj has those rich people problems. I don't mind, always interesting to hear other perspectives

I think Rich needs the ICP test more than anyone to find out #whatsinyourwater or more accurately #whatsinhiscokespawnwater .

Cool. #WhatsInYourWater

Great show guys🎉#whatsinyourwater

Had my basic green and purple hammer coral spawn a week and a half ago. Only noticed because I have a chromis that was having a blast eating coral eggs. #whatsinyourwater

I love rich, like a 12 year old at Christmas over coral spawning, inspires me to not suck when it comes to my tank #whatsinyourwater #12yearoldrich

what's in your aquarium. I would like toknowivenever done a ICP

How plausible is it to have multiple spawns a year?

Lol, I said my tree was 17-18" around..it was 17-18 FEET in diameter!

Reef beef beefer #whatsinyourwater

#whatsinyourwater interesting topic I wasn’t aware of these mass spawns I saw someone on Facebook post a ton of baby torches looked awesome

You made 5k

Raj is a tinkler?

The Neptune AFS is GARBAGE. They should be embarrassed by it. I ended up with the Avast Marine Plank as well.

Hello I often listen to your podcast while I drive. I have noticed in several episodesthat your sound is off. Ehen you have guests on they are often louder than you. If turn dowm the volume I cant hear you. This episode was to the extreme your guest richard ross almost made me deaf. The i could not find a balance so I hadto shut it off. I would rather watch on youtube but i listen while i drive i hope you can fix this i dont wantto stop listenimg toyou guys but i cant take that ear drum blowing noise.

I can't imagine spawning ever being the future....especially knowing the climate hoax has failed.....that was the only policy that threatened our hobby....I just can't fathom growing these things from that small and finding any profit for the effort....
