Frag tank setup

[Krazykarl]

So the frag tank is up and running. Lights r on, need to be hung. Plumbed into the main tank and awaiting our first coral order. Another month and we should be in business....

probably shouldnt plumb that tank to your display incase some of the corals you get have some diseases or pests that could get water born.

if u were just fragging your own stuff i would say go for it. for wild captured stuff you better dip the shit out of it

 

[Krazykarl]

Not too concerned about it really. We did it to utilize the established live rock in the tank without having to buy more. And my skimmer is rated foe 250 gallons under heavy bio load so I'm just under 250 gallons. But will keep it in mInd...

Sounds like the system can handle the load, but more of a concern with critters (red bugs, flatworms, whathaveyou) getting into your display.  Just a caution...and good luck!

Our 100 micron felt filter socks do an excellent job of filtering out crap. They can def catch critters bugs and worms

Hmmmm new frag store in windsor??? I'd like to see this

 

[Krazykarl]

Not a store really we have products other than coral. Just a few loose ends to tie up and we will be bringing in some colonies... Good size pieces for sale instead of your usual 1" frag crap.

Well I'll be stopping by that's for sure!!

I wouldn't knock the 1inch frag route. For many reefers part of the fun is getting a small frag and watching it grow to fit it's new home as opposed to adding a huge colony and trying to shoehorn it in and risking breaking it or standing back only to see that it's grossly out of porportion. It's also substantially cheaper and less of a hit to the pocketbook if it doesn't make it. From a business perspective think of how many $10 frags you can get off a colony that cost you $75 wholesale..... win=win...
