Comment to RHYS123....Your shed is a really great concept. I love the look, but can't help to worry for you about recovering your expense on the elegant tanks. We live in Torrance, California, USA and my husband is from Katoomba, AUS. We found ourselves struggling to purchase the wonderful corals coming from AUS knowing that the GBR is under pressure. We decided to cultivate what we have and try to add our aquaculture product to the market. We started off with a 12 gallon and moved into a 60 gallon frag tank in three months. I would be interested in knowing how you are going about returning your livestock to the market.

I am the frag coordinator for our local club (which has a pretty good membership) and my primary focus was supplying the local and interstate club members with affordable aquacultured corals for close to no price at all or on a trade basis. This allows the club members to obtain tank hardened corals that retain their colors and hopefully with a greater survival rate then wild sourced colonies. Anyhow that is the plan so to speak Quick picture sunlight now from 0900 to 1730

Not sure if anyone would be interested yet, but I am in the beginning stages of my system. Working on fishroom first 185 sq ft, future tank install over the winter...
This photo is of my 220gallon sump that has 750 pounds of live rock in in it, and my stand alone 40 gallon QT system with 250w MH. Grow out tank is a 4'x4'x16" center overflow 4 sided viewable tank, with 4 400w MH and 4VHO atinic.

Its great to see everyones systems and the time and effort they put into them.Ill post pics of mine later today.
*My question is do most people run skimmers on there setups? Ive been running without one and havent had any problems to date but have been thinking of throwing one on recently for precautionary measures since my number of corals are rising. Thanks |

Finally ready to dump the fresh water and get the salt water flowing. Display is a custom 57 with matching 18x18 frag tanks all plumbed to a central sump. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic...

Thanks! So many great props here and so much inspiration in this thread. One of my faves! Got about 10 snails to keep it clean now.

Just a common old Montipora that has grown fully over a plug (one day I will get around to securing it to a rock)
