How many days to hatch. - Tuesday, January 8, 2013 8:22 AM

I have a couple pairs of Ocellaris in my brood system. Last fall there eggs were taking 8 days to hatch at 78 to 80 degrees. At that time I had these pairs in separate tanks. On November 28th I moved these pairs into a central system. I believe the temp in this system is still 78 to 80 degrees. The last two clutches have hatched on the 7th night and I am at a loss why.
Are there any thoughts on why.
I have a clutch now which is 6 days old from another pair. The eggs are dark and I still do not see the eyes in the eggs. I really do not want to lose another clutch.
So, What can I do to get this figured out?
Thanks
Mark

Eggs will hatch sooner at higher temps.

I understand that but I do not think the temps are higher in the central system than the separate systems.
I have a nest from a different pair that is 6 days old now. I will keep an eye on them and see when they hatch.
Thanks
