Wanting to start a Coral Business.

[Ian]

there's a saying in the coral biz...

Ian,
I think the answer is don't sell coral in the first place.

Olsinc,

Many sell coral but many don't make a business of it. Why not start building your rep by selling frags to others before taking the business jump? This will help you gain the experience of shipping, fragging and the hobby itself before pumping hard earned money into the hobby as a business.

I see people on here and other sites selling frags all the time. I think all you need to do is become a member of the site then sell ur frags.

Thanks for the advice. I think thats the route I'm going to go with. Like the saying goes, You have to Crawl before you Walk. You have to Walk before you Run.

olsinc, if you want someone to practice shipping to I would volunteer. I could even send you some of my stuff in return so I can practice too

This is a good idea though, baby steps as it has been said "Nothing good in this hobby happens fast"...

That sounds like a plan.

you can make a small fortune selling corals you just need to start with a big fortune

if you are starting by selling online- I would get a few friends together and start a site
you can sell all aquaculture corals and have a good assortment of items.
the best part is it dosnt cost much to start up, buyers know their frags will live in captivity and it dosnt deplete natural environments

If you do start selling corals let me know I would like to be your first customer

This thread really isn't appropriate since we have paying sponsors here that have worked hard to build a business over time. Try emailing them or send them a PM for more info. Thanks.
