Thanks everyone.

I don't know when the act took place so I have no idea when the eggs should drop. Normally I know within 1 or 2 days they will drop so now I'm worried I'm going to miss it. Hopefully this girl knows to drop them in the salt water like her tank sisters did.

I have everything ready to go but I didn't build the new kreisel tanks yet, going to start them this weekend. I don't need them for the first stages anyway.

imho and in my experience even for the first stages the Kreiseltank is a best opinion. Later in megalopa stage it is not that necessary.
Because the larvae and the food (artemia) are in the same flow. The best way for the larvae to get most food.

Anyway I keep my fingers crossed and I would love to see "Strawberry" larvae, megalopa AND later on tiny tiny land hermit crabs :)
