I think its funny, I am a frag person I frag everything I get my hands on but it seems because I very rarely say the words "for sale" (on here) I'm immune to the criticism. what does everyone think I do with my frags? I have built sort of a reputation as the person to go to on how to frag corals. I did not get good at fragging by keeping every coral I have ever fragged.
Hypertek99 I like your pictures, I like your corals, I like the fact that you have accumulated what seems to be a rather nice assortment of rares and can grow enough to sell them. dont worry about critics. as a fellow hobbyest, my interest is in preserving the reefs by growing enough to sell so it takes pressure off our worlds reefs. anyone that gets crabby because they arent doing the same can..... well, be crabby I guess, who cares. I'M growing and selling corals so they dont have to be harvested from the wild, whats their excuse?
Ahmen. It would be nice to someday have enough growing and swaping/selling in out tanks to leave the reefs alone. For now we seem to be OK for collecting, but not on all reefs, and someday I wouldn't really be suprised, maybe not in my lifetime, if there were no reefs to collect from, or at least not enough, and those corals that were collected demanded unattainable prices to the average person.
I say frag, grow and sell/trade. That's what it is all about. If you have high, rediculous prices, well, hats off to you if you can sell them, and if you have low, give-away prices, beware because they can easily go to someone that doesn't really care if they live or die in their inappropriately maintained reef-of-a-whim.
