n00b question: some of you have hundreds of these frags, what do you do with them?
sell for money
swap for more frags which you dont have yet
trade in at LFS for salt ect to lower running costs
give away to friends
smoke em! :bum: - corals are used in medical research - if you can find someone who wants to research them and you can grow enough of them you have found a livelihood

My 10g frag tank. I started small for several reasons, but larger plans in the works over the next year. It's currently housing ~130 frags waiting to be sold or growing out for my display. 4x24" t5ho, k1, DIY sump (follows).
My 10g DIY sump. I wanted to play around with differing filtration and husbandry techniques so it's pretty packed. It's connected in-line with a direct u-tube siphon. Water returning fills the display and lowers the sump kicking the siphon into gear. Water passes through a skimmer, floss, GFO+GAC, DSB, LR, Miracle Mud+Caulerpa. Also planning on adding mangroves for giggles as I ordered some for my display's fuge.
Hard to make out everything in there so here's my diagram.
It's a lot of filtration for a 10g with no fish, but I wanted to play around with a small system to maximize sps growth and water quality. I dose 2-part daily, iodine daily, amino + vitamins twice weekly, and magnesium once weekly.

Nice prop tank can you please share the dimensions of this tank.
Can't wait to see the 3 larger systems.

Pisces for you and others dosing two parts for their prop tanks. would appreciate if you could tell how much you have to dose daily to keep levels where they should be?
So you think one can continue to maintain a prop tank just by 2 part addition and/or Kalk or will the demand grow too much so that a Ca reactor is needed?
Frags are usually small that's true however with some keeping 100s of frags in rather smaller water volume than tank does that make adding 2 part or kalk more risky in terms of bumping the vlaues (especially PH and KH) rather quickly?
Thanks for any info you can share
