Fair enough! As soon as I said it all 3 of my pairs stopped eating and a bunch of my plants turned yellow! I hear thy warning fish gods, I am but thy pawn!
as I was preparing to leave for dinner, I took 1 last look at the pleco tank and WHAMO!!! I got a spawn. There it was, right in the middle of the front of the tank. 
Another big cluster. I guess they are only going to use the tube to spawn in but not keep the eggs in as none of their spawns has been inside for a complete day. 
I've been trying to see if I can watch the spawning activity but again no such luck. As my friend told me last night, "These fish are crazy. You can stare at them for 23 hours and 59 minutes and the moment you blink or take your eyes off of them, they spawn and you missed it."
He has the cluster on the outside side of the pipe in the area between where the pipe touches the tank on the bottom and the curve up. I had to get underneath the tank to actually see the eggs so I knew they were still there. ( Another for bare bottom tanks. 
) I only saw 1 dead egg in the clutch so far so things are still looking good. Not going to move the eggs again and see how they do. It started with me leaving the A/C- Heat off last night. I took some rain water, that tested 0 for ammonia, and added an airline off a pump I set up outside so it was getting the freshest air I could get it. The ammonia level this morning was slightly elevated but not even reaching .25 on the test chart. I left the A/C off for most of the day and switched the open air airline to the fry in the jar ( still reading slight ammonia) and used the bubbler that is coming from the air pump wrapped in carbon and this afternoon, after just a few hours of bubbling, the ammonia level was up to .25 ppm. I will have the heat on tonight and take another reading in the morning but I suspect the level should be higher. So my air quality indoors is the issue. I have a test kit coming next week to test the air quality so I will have to wait and see what that shows. If the air quality in the whole place is the same, I'll have to go back to hatching spawns in the house and bringing them back here once they can have a sponge filter in the tank. That seems to be the only way I am getting a 0 ammonia reading in tanks for more than 2 or 3 days. The test is the 2 spawns I have going at the moment. If I get both of these to free swim in mass, I have the answer. If not, Guppies are starting to look good as I have my Green Cobras waiting for me to pick up already.

Time to start boiling Prime in the hatchery
Does this mean the A/C is NOT the cause but it's something else in the building? I can rule out the freezer ( I think) as it was running for months with no ill effects on the fish before the A/C was being used. I had had the freezer in a different part of the building where there was electric while I was waiting to see if the A/C was going to have to stay removed. Back then, the place was more open air ( no racks or dividers built yet) but now it is directly underneath the A/C unit and there is less air movement between rows and the 2 sides of the place. I know the air quality test will be a great help but I don't know that I can wait another 4 or 5 days for it to get here. I've got " I need answers NOW!!!!!" syndrome. 
I want to wish all of you who are celebrating, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope you all enjoy the holiday with family and friends.
I know everyone keeps saying that multiple spawns can be kept together but since I hadn't done that yet, I didn't have first hand experience. Well, I went down under the tank and couldn't find the eggs there either or the male in his "usual" eggs guarding spot so I got concerned. 
( I hadn't really looked hard at the eggs in the past 2 days ) So I went and got the flashlight and wouldn't you know it, in a back corner, climbing up the wall, are a whole bunch of hatched plecos. 
I tried to count and there are approx 30+ in the corner and some more in other parts of the tank so I have no idea exactly how many I have from this spawn. Considering the Angel situation, I have to give the Pleco success a hardy
( pictured here in the center Aquarium Advice - Aquarium Forum Community - Andy Sager's Album: New Angelfish - Picture) was found dead in his tank. At just over 2 years old, it was and wasn't a surprise. This is typical of a fish that was a runt, not a healthy feeder and constantly being over shadowed by other fish in the tank. I'm actually surprised he lasted this long. So for any of you who think you are doing justice by keeping runts and breeding them into your lines, think about this: The fish you are selling or giving to someone most likely will not live for a long time nor produce very good young. Not telling someone the fish they are getting are "runts" just perpetuates the issues with today's poorly Angelfish as well. In other words, CULL! and don't be so quick to get rid of your fish until you know you are producing top notch fish.
