I just got a new frag tank about 11 gallons. Drop your recommendation on what is easy and profitable to grow. There is a lot of space.

Easy and profitable are going to be at odds with each other in this hobby hah.
Gsp is easy. Good luck giving it away.
Find what YOU can grow, and focus on that :)
I'd recommend fragging the stuff from your DT. You know how to grow it, and you have a backup.

My main tank is also small. 13.5 gallons but all high end zoas and torches. I even have a jawbreaker. So zoas torches and my jawbreaker is what grows good as of now lol.

Zoas are a good seller but IME It’s not profitable lol by the time you add your time,maintenance,salt,electric and supplements
Especially if you get into shipping forget about it your lucky if your breaking even

Grow out your display frag them stick them in them stick them in the frag tank maybe trade it into your LFS get a bag of salt or store credit. Local frag swaps can sometimes get ya some extra cash or trade for some new pieces

I got it, I got really good deals on the zoo as I have in my tank now, a lot of the high-end ones with multiple polyps. I only paid $20 a frag. And they’re starting to grow all over my rock like crazy so pretty much big profit, but I’m not really doing it for profit. I’m just doing it because I don’t want to just give them away for free.
