If ur trying to make$ forget it !!
Just for fun then go for it enjoy but man just running a sm tank is$$$

 

[redseamax130d]

I already have a reef tank running. I was just thinking as a add on and just fraging my larger sps

 

[Mattl22]

Then go for it maybe pay ur electric/salt bill

 

[ruha456]

Be fair with prices

 

[redseamax130d]

Yes yes yes with the price. When I first started I payed 30 to 50 for a super small frag.

 

[redseamax130d]

I want to start this for all the people starting a new tank and don't have $50 for a 1in frag

make sure you have room for a coral farm....why not set up a smaller/med size frag tank and see how that works out first!

here is a series of articles i wrote about small scale propagation some years ago - not an expensive investment by any stretch, and still in operation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link. Now to find a hidden spot to read this at work with out my boss finding me. Also I order a frag tank 30x12x8 and will be picking it up on this Saturday and will be posting pics of it.

This could be a major investment and take a lot of your time just getting sales and clearing your tank out. What are you expecting out of this? Is this simply for pleasure or you thinking of this as source of income?

 

[redseamax130d]

For now I just doing it for to see if it can be done in such a small scale.
