Fragging: Aesthetics or Cash?

[whatcaneyedo]

Both. Big colonies always need fragging which can yield a steady income but no one wants to pay shipping for just one oversized frag so it makes sense to offer some variety.

thus far the only things ive sold are unwanted corals and rbta due to massive spiltting i have min split 4 times in 6 months...crazy

I only sold unwanted to make room for the new upcoming.

But. Now that I have a nano cube. I am taking a bonsai approach to it which means fragging even though it may not be warranted

what i make off frags i could hardly quit my job for and i in turn buy twice as much as i frag both locally and at the lfs , the the jazz of some corals ware off and i swap it out for something else i guess i get bored easily lol i find fragging is a hobby its self and so are growing the new frags, seeing the affects of the fragged colonies is cool too fragging with some corals increase growth, my nuclear palys didnt grow a head in forever untill i started cutting them same with some others. to have a fragtank up and running cost a fair bit and just to stock the tank took some time and alot of money as well . also fragging brings a group of people together ive met alot of people through frags some new some pros ive had people over for hours just to buy one $10 frag so the profit in that cant be very high.

another thing i think is coral pricing is a roller coaster you can buy one thing at a store for X dollars and the store across the street charges twice as much, its nice to see cool colony gotten and passed around.

ive gotten frags off people ive sold frags to a couple years ago cause i lost the colonies thats cool and i bet alot of other have done the same.

im pro fragging for sure

I like to garden, but living in an apartment I can't... So I garden in my tank. I too sell or give away things I get bored with. I hord the things I like, but once or twice a year when I need a new skimmer, tank, or light I will do a massive sell off, and then start the whole process over. Right now I have a rack of tiny acan frags that I figure will be my Christmas money.
