I'm just starting to plan mine.
Going to start with just a 60G flat tank. (48"L X 24"W X 12"H) Acro's only. I will be lining the bottom of the tank with either 3"X3" or 4"X4" square tiles, one frag per tile. As they grow out I'll be trimming them to hopefully have them grow out rather than up. Frag each grow out as needed to keep them to their tile space. Should have 20-25 colonies per flat.
I'll be selling online and locally, setting up a website to sell on EBay, FB auctions & through my website.
Equipment will be simple. 6 bulb 48" fixture, with two reefbrite XHO's later on. Oversized skimmer and siporax. Possibly a Fuge but not likely. All controlled via Apex. Lots of flow and light.
Did you end up doing a grow out of your own OP?

I have the same tank 4x2x12". I use a 110g stock tank as sump so ~120g total. 2x kessil A360W tuna blues about 14" above water. I lined the tank with eggcrate on 1"pvc risers. Travertine tiles for plugs. I've got more frags than I can sell, but local only for me. I have to think that shipping/PayPal/etc that it's just not worth the hassle to bother with online sales.

Hey guys so I ended up buying a 40 Breeder. Shortly after a friend offered me a deal I couldn't refuse.
Got 2 Chinese LED's with a 48x24x12" frag tank, return pump, Curve 5 Skimmer, a JBJ ATO, and a heater.
It's cycled and ready to go. I've got racks for Acropora and zoanthids. PAR averaging 200-350 on the SPS area and 160 for the zoas.
Here is a pic of it not setup. I don't have an updated one, YET!
