Angels laid eggs! 8-)

To my surprise, the lift tube in my hex tank is covered in eggs - happened either last night or today during the day. This is the first time this has happened to me - i'm excited some of the eggs are clear, about 10% are solid white - anyone know why? How long until hatching happens? U nfortunately I leave for vacation in about 5 days (will be gone for 2 weeks)...

The eggs that are white are infertile. If you can, you should remove these so they don't make fertile ones fungus. Your vacation came at a bad time. You can basically kiss this batch goodbye, but the good news is, once angels spawn, they'll keep doing it every few weeks for you.
