coral propagation/fragging
G'day guys :D
Im new to the site, my name is jamie, I have been into fish tanks for years, my first tank would of been at around age 11. it was freshwater though. more recently at 25 I have gotten into reef keeping, always wanted to but thought it was way to involved. now I find it not an issueand quite simple if you have a little experience and do a little research!
what I want to get into is coral prop/fragging. softies, hard, LPS, zoos. etc. I have done a couple of little experiments with some leathers and had a reasonable amount of success, now I want to get into it a lot more. Im thinking of setting up a tank out in my shed just for this, mostly will be run of auto timers for the lights etc. everything else will be basic. sump tank, skimmer, probably T5 lights, MH isnt an option right now as I just cant afford to purchase them or probably run them either.
my shed is insulated so temps are quite stable, I find with my display tank inside that its temp is quite stable only changing maybe a degree over a 24 hour period and thats only running a 200w heater. sits at 24-25c which is strange as I live in sunny QLD but my house has a very stable temp aswell. just well positioned I guess.
any help or advice you guys have in regards to fragging any of the corals with success would be great, I have scoured the net for info which has helped alot and given me the confidence to go ahead with it all, but I would love to get some first hand experience!
cheers guys :D
