Starting a reef with sps

What's you guys think.
Starting a new reef with nothing but frags
Or starting it with mini colonies.

Frags.
Fun part of this hobby is explore, learn, listen, build, grow, thrive, enjoy and patience.
Good luck and keep us updated on your SPS build.

So just cut frags of my colonies if I already have colonies in my quarentine tank and start the display with frags?

I did.
Not saying you have to.
If your colonies are healthy and I assume they are than you can put them in.
I like to grow a new reef from frags and document the process.

Make a build thread on R2R.
What size is your tank?

I only have a 30 gallon deep blue rimless. 24x24x12 but might up grade one day to a 48x24x12

I may do that. Tank is about 100 gal custom Reef Savvy. Adam is sending me a 20 pack of primos on Halloween:D

Adam is the MAN.
What did you get from him?

 

[rovster]

What didn't I get from him, lol!

Could post a few pics when your frags come in?
I'm also putting together an order from Adam. His stuff looks good and the prices too.

Colonies grow faster than a small frag. If you want to do mostly frags I would suggest getting small colonies of the SPS that a very slow growers. They grow really slow when they are only one inch long.

My reef was grown from frags! Easier to ensure you are pest free, too! :-)
