Post some pictures of your prop setups

Here is my simple prop setup :

Basic 10 gallon tank, with a small sand bed, lots of rubble rock, and a shelf rack I made out of egg crate, maxi-jet 400 for a powerhead and a simper emperor 280 filter with no bio-wheel, just carbon and a filter pad. lighting is a 2x40watt Power Compact orbit fixture with two 10k daylight bulbs... Everthing I put in here so far has been doing remarkably well.. no sps (cept for some dead frags I use as rubble)

Those who have larger tank setups should look into a small prop, these things pay for themselves, and you can sell small frags and also trade them in to your local store for credit towards things you need like food, and even other corals It pays off, plus it helps to aqua-culture some stuff, less dependency on wild caught items

thats awesome and a great idea!

You know what I love the most about even my small 10 gallon prop tank ??

I got $60 credit for 1 xenia rock with 10 stalks, 1 anthellia rock baseball size and 1 frag disk of anthellia $60 CREDIT !!!!

3 pieces of coral !!!

I cant say it enough, Aqua-Culture !!!

One day Keith, I'll get there.

[teajay33]

nice idea. seems easy enough and without a big investment.

I would do that in the future when I have more room and funds cool idea good job Krazy K

This is a very cool idea. I'll have to start thinking about doing this once my tank starts up. I mean, heck...I might be able to pay for most of my fish this way.

you know five years in this hobby and this simple idea NEVER crossed my limited mind.
gawd i feel like an idiot. with three tens in my basement sitting idle and two protien skimmers that are good but just sitting after upgrades there is not much reason why not. THANKS now the wife can stop hounding me over the cost if i can have a way to offset it.

[nickrp]

What kind of skimmers are they and are you willing to part with one?

[crazygator]

they're both airstone driven, in tank mount. berlin model from i think Red Sea. if you want it i think i can part with one. but like i said airstone driven. hell i think they are like thirty bucks new. but for a prop tank that won't be on display i believe it should suffice.

About how long does it take to get some good frag growth to the pont where you can sell them? I'm kinda new to the coral thing.. Thanks

THANKS A LOT ! Lots of info that I needed to build my propagation tank and is not as difficult as what I was thinking on doing. It is going to save space, time, and money. now all I need is the money and the materials I'll keep in touch of my developement. THANKS AGAIN!!
