My Bangaiis Have Bred..Male has mouthful

[Sweetnezz7]

HI everyone..
Well I am now on Day 6, and my male has a mouthful..I have so many questions, and concerns as for this is my first go at this..
Not sure about fry tank setup needs, what to use for a bbs hatchery, and when do I move the male..
Any info would be great..
This is a pic of them on Day 1 *holding*

I had some that I ended up trading to the LFS and the owner put them in his 240 gallon show tank. Of course not a week later they decided to have babies. Unfortunately the tank also had many other fish like anthias and wrasses in it and the babies never stood a chance.

Wow, really eh...Well I my pair lives in my reef with my pair of Percs, and a blenney..as well as my snowflake eel...He is about 14", he is so good with any fish, had for about 1 yr or so, and he has never touched or bothered anyone...but I am setting up a new tank, because I have a feeling he can smell the eggs..and I dont wanna wake up one morning and find out he couldnt resist the smell..lol...
I am hoping I can be all setup before the daddy spits...cuz it would be to hard to catch them in my tank...
