just a quick pic of my frag tank up n running

[bumchunder]

i have had it a few months now and its fully cycled and has had a couple of water changes, just need to get some stock in it now lolol,

its not too pretty but is a working tank, i got it from a fellow member of tsb, mr swin lol, and its in my bloody living room as im stuck for space lolol, along with another 4 tanks pmsl time to slow down me thinks,

hope u like it and i can supply some good quality cheep frags to you all very soon

You need to get some frags in that tank, and then send me some once ready.

A proper reefer, letting the tanks take over the living room. :thumbup1:

 

[bumchunder]

lolol sound gud to me ged, ill keep you posted, i think i better stop my missus would leave me if i bring any more home...well,it would have to be a really nice tank any way pmsl

 

[Ged]

My missus wouldn't let me get rid of the smaller tank when we got the bigger one. She tells me that she hates it, but I mentioned swapping the clowns for some others with a nem and she said no way.

Obviously she has a secret soft spot for the clowns we bought in June 2009 but will not admit it.

Get those frags up and running and then enjoy supporting coral sustainability by making one from the sea into many others, that reefers can enjoy, at a realistic price.

I would say 97% of my corals are from frags, and not directly taken out of the ocean. Yes OK it takes a few months for them to grow, but it is definitely worth it, and nice to see your tank mature and fill out.

lolol is right mate, my missus has her favourite a lil citroen goby, shes always got her nose pressed up at the tank watching him pose on the rocks lol.

i will keep my prices reasonable for sure, as long as it pays for itself and i get the pleasure of creating many new lil lives i will be happy, my main tank is mostly a fish set up so this way i get the best of both worlds...bonus lol.

 

[Ged]

If you want a toadstool frag happy to send you one, they grow fast and get huge!

 

[bumchunder]

i wouldnt say no mate lol, i would defo sort u some thin out in return when i get some stock in, giza pm mate.

 

[Ged]

No worries will PM you tomorrow.

Mine has produced about 90 frags since January and is still as big as it was then. It is amazing how fast they grow.

 

[bumchunder]

bloody hell, i didnt no they grew that fast, how much do u usually get for each frag??

spot on mate, lookin forward to it lol

 

[Ged]

tbh I don't sell mine, I give them away or swap them at LFS for salt etc

If I were selling them, probably about a fiver a throw.

Our LFS swaps them (or gives a credit) of about £7 to £10 depending on size.

Slice them, then put them on some alphagrog and about 6 weeks later they are twice the size.

 

[bumchunder]

sound good to me, i have told my LFS that i would be able to supply them some over the next few months and they seemed interested, there are only 2 in my area and nether of them ever have any decent quality corals in, will be hitting the robbing B*st*rds for cold hard cash tho, they've taken enough of mine over the years lolol

where would i get alphagrog from mate??

 

[Ged]

I got a huge bag for about £12 and a fiver delivered mate, you get hundreds of pieces in that. I gave Nev a carrier bag full and still have about the same left.

I will have a look tomorrow for where I got mine from and PM you the details.

 

[bumchunder]

thanks mate, i just been lookin online n found them for about £18 delivered from 123aquatics, ill have to get a bag ordered when i get paid

 

[Ged]

Pretty sure I got mine from here.
