Hey,
I am thinking about setting up a 50-60 gallon propagation system to grow, frag, and propagate corals for a profit. I would mainly do more of the rare corals...mostly SPS and LPS, but possibly some rare softies.
I have a few questions for some of the experienced guys.
I would love to keep all of my livestock from my 20g long, that the prop system will replace. The only problem is I would like to keep the system BB...so I was thinking about having a tub with sand in it for my Blenny, snails, and starfish to retreat to at night...just like they do in my 20g long. Would this work? I have heard of people doing this in BB reef tanks, where they need sand for several spcies of fish and inverts.
How do you guys aquire your livestock?
Would I be alright dosing Randys 2-part homemade Ca/ Alk solutions, instead of using a Ca reastor and Kalk reactor? I would like to keep the cost down of the system initially, untill I make some money and can afford to purchase these items.
I am sure I will have more questions as the tank planning progresses.
Thanks,
CJ
