unless you are going to be chop shopping my suggestion is get a large display and fill it with the nicest corals/frags you can find......grow for a few years and than start a small frag tank for your cuttings. Fast or easy income this is not. In fact I have done this exact thing and highly doubt I will ever even come close to breaking even with every dollar I've spent on this hobby.....I guess that is why I do it....cause its a hobby and I love it. There are far better business opportunities, that is for sure.

Your other option is to buy corals and cut and sell (chop shop). Probably make more money this way with less initial investment.....chances are higher of unsatisfied customers.

Either way you need to know what you are doing.....years of experience is recommended.
