What percent of your tank is Aquacultured/Propigated

[duec22]

I've noticed that in the last year or so MARS members have been great at propigating and shareing their corals among fellow members. I just wanted to take a quick poll to see how much of your tank is non-wild collected coral..to see how much of an impact we might be makeing on wild collection.

The only thing I have left that was collected wild is my Frogspawn, blasto meltti, the "favia", and two brain corals. Everything else has come from frags from local members (mostly Tim) and a few aquaculted frags from LFS's.

I would say only 30% is aquacultured in my tank I have gotten most of my pieces from aqualife which were wild. I just found this club today and will defintely be going to the meeting on friday. Hopefully my tank will soon be stocked with cultured frags from you guys
Im new to sps and these wild ones are a pain to get to color up. I also would feel a lot better knowing that I wasnt taking anything away from natural reefs.

I think I have 2 - A Trachyphylia brain and Turbinaria cup coral. Two of the first corals I ever bought almost 10 years ago!

I voted in the 70% category of aquacultured.I have 2 softies Ive had for a couple years now that Im not sure of there orgin,but chances seem likely that they were propegated.And one zoo rock that may be wild also.Rest is homegrown son!:bum:

Most of the corals I have and all of the corals I get now are Aquacultured/Propagated. They are just so much healthier. To bad I can't say the same for the fish in my tank. My clowns and neon gobies are aquacultured but most fish can't be captive bred yet.
