Advice for a Frag Tank

[FragIt Dan]

I would avoid the faster growing hardy stuff as I think you will find the market is saturated. Most of us who are fragging throw those ones out when we trim because you can't even give them away. Do your research on which frags would be more desirable and hopefully by the time you are ready to harvest some fraga, things won't have changed. Also, figure out DIY supplementing and maybe even frag pucks as they can start to add up

My little frag setup in my basement...

i have had a 15 gal frag tank up for over a year now and i would say add a sump , i wish i had . Rics and yumas are easy and theres good demand , zoas can be tempermental with growth. Dunnow about sps because my tank is crashing and all mine died (like i said wish i had a sump). I realy like the 1x1 inch marble tiles from home depot are great for frags and there realy cheap.

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.
