Tip of the Day – 4/9/2011

Community coral grow out tanks can be great tools for small groups of people who don’t have the room for their own frag tanks. The members of the group get together, purchase or donate equipment, and set up a frag tank at one location. This location will most likely be at someone’s house, and preferably a location that is close and/or centrally located to members of the group. One thing to also consider with a venture such as this is all of the liability, especially if you are the host of this community frag tank. Your corals and equipment are placed in another hobbyist’s hands, and you must rely on them to be honest and take care of your corals. Hopefully your experience with a group frag tank goes well and it serves as a great source to promote aquacultured corals among aquarium keepers.
