Who Has a Coral Propogation System?

[mark]

Voted for consider in the future as currently don't have a lot worth fragging and if created a accidental frag, could find the room in display for awhile.

Those threads do have me thinking though, really like the idea of the shallow grow out tanks.

I had one then the whole died over the summer cleaned it out now it's holding about 40-50 of live rock for my main display.
I am planning on doing another one

I have a frag tank. It isn't 100% yet but I don't like cutting things while people are waiting. I find I damage the corals trying to get a good piece.
With a prop tank. I'm able to tank my time and get pieces that may not be the greatest but a month in the frag tank the growth and colour have improved the piece to the point that it is justs as good if not better than any piece I could cut off the colony

Well, with my new setup, I'll have a 5ft long sump, so I imagine I'll build a frag tray into it somewhere. It's certainly something to consider if you don't want to hack at your main colonies, just in my case I had to regularly prune anyway, so for me (at that time) it wasn't a benefit.

At one point I was seriously organizing the funds/research on a propagation system but then school taught me I didn't have the time for such a thing (nor the $$).

When school's over and I'm living somewhere that I'm not moving out of for a few years I'm going to set up a propagation system. The problems I forsee would be getting a good assortment of corals to start at a good price and keeping on top of getting new corals to satisfy the demand for new stuff.

Where I'm at now in my life I can't really have anything more than a 24 gallon sumpless display tank. But I'll get more experience in the mean time though.
