Well, It's been a while since I've posted in here but no time like the present since I have some new additions since my last post. 

Gone - Kole Tang, Copper Banded Butterfly

New Additions - Achilles Tang (3 weeks ago)

Just got back from a trip to So Cal to see my family and had extra time so the family and I decided to take a side-trip to Tongs in Fountain Valley, CA.  If you haven't been, I highly recommend it! Without a doubt, the best prices and selection I've ever seen in a LFS anywhere.  Today, I bought a Scott's Fairy Wrasse (Fiji) for get this....$29.00! That was the only fish I bought.  I also took advantage of Tong's $10 frag tank.  They have a special running now where you buy 5 and get 1 free.  I bought 4 different zoanthid frags, a frogspawn, and a nice sixed Galaxy frag. My prized coral purchase had to be the two Ricordia mushrooms though.  One already appears to be splitting and since I still only paid $25 per 'shroom, I couldn't be happier! Ricordia's are my new fav and are slowly catching zoanthids in my tank. I have a total of 3 Ricordias now, the other being an $8 frag I bought at the Southwestern Coral Farmers Market in So Cal last Feb. 

 I'll try to get some pics posted here soon. I took lots this weekend and love the opportunity to take some daily pics of the tank.

 Thats all for now....

Cheers,

I've been into marine and reef tanks for a long time, probably since I was old enough to to see the marine tanks on the top shelf at the fish shop. I've only been able to actually start up and keep a tank for about a year or so (probably a little longer).

My brother has recently bought a nice fifty five gallon tank and intends to start up a reef. the other day he was talking about some company based out of the Bahamas or someplace and how they grow corals on plots of ocean. this sounded interesting so I researched the topic and I found that coral aquaculture is a very large and dare I say mildly profitable trade.

 so yes, I am a propagation newb.

 currently I'm planing a layout for my progagation tank, I'm starting out small, probably a 20 or 30 gallon tank ( 1ftx3ftx2ft if at all possible) with a surge tank for water flow and I dont know how the sump setup will work.

 I never thought I would do it but I really enjoy it. I love helping other hobbiest with questions and also learning myself at the same time. Right now the basement of my home is all salt water ( well almost) I have several hundred gallons. My main goal is to propigate corals. This is what I have been doing for years. Now I am just doing more of it.

I am so excited to be doing this. Next step maybe a greenhouse. Bottom line I do not want to loose my passion for the hobby which has really become a lifesty for me. I am setting up a private do not disturb tank. This will be a non frag unless the tank needs it. Also a center piece for my front room.

 I ask anyone reeding this if you are in the business of propiagting corals and would like to share any tips or advise with me to please do so. Thank You

$5 all sizes. does not include shipping. 2 frags for $8.
