Twin 175 Mogul MHs, 1/2 inch crushed coral, 30 lbs LR rubble. I am growing anything I can get from my other tanks. Right now I have, zoos, leathers, red monti, pink digita?, brown digita, red and watermeelon shrooms, greenstar polyps, organ pipe, pom pom xynia, brown xynia, candy cane and a few I don't know the names of..
I have four other reef tanks (24,29,54,92) and find that I like this the best. I am just starting to grow my own phytoplankton in a 2 gallon tank in the attic.
Thxs,

I just counted 35 frags. Most not ready for purchase. I don't even know how I am going to sell them yet. My LFS will take some but at really low prices. I might go on the local reef site and have a garage sell in a month or so. I will trade alot in the next few months to increase the variety. I am just doing it to break even on chemicals, salt and stuff and to see if I can really grow corals. It is really fun and totally addictive. My other tanks cower when I walk by!
Thxs for the compliment.

maybe you can find it online

Ya, I know but shipping is no fun and people don't get as good of a deal because of shipping costs. Maybe if I get too much. If I do sell online, I will make sure I give alot for the money. I bought some frags once that were pitiful! I would like to be able to give like 4" round monti frags, 5-6 mushrooms, fist sized GSP and multihead frogspawn for $15 or so.

I'll second that, every time I look into my DT I wonder what I want to frag next. I'm holding off for a little while until my little grow out tank settles in.

I will be the first buyer.........Mc let me know when you are ready to begin selling
. I have dealt with Grumpygils before and he knows his stuff. All of his tanks were top quality and well maintained. Here are some of the "frags" I recieved from him before -
I received many more and will deal with him again!

I will. Generally, I am going to try to sell them locally, but will sell some on line after it gets some grow out. I just hate shipping but will make sure all is packed right.
