Not that easy to do. People ALWAYS wants something special if they have the money. It's like everything in life.Prices are subjective.
If people are willing to pay $400 for a 1/2" tall stick, then the price will stay $400. If they sit on inventory for 6 months at $400 and no one is buying it, they will either lower the price, or continue to use real estate to keep it.
The best way to fight the ever growing prices of coral, is to stop paying ridiculous prices for the super duper ultra rare mega crush royal flush aussie gold whosawhatsit...
If people continue to pay these extortion level prices, then the prices will continue to rise.
I bought 2 that were made last spring for the cost of one brand new. I was pumped. Its over kill in my tank but oh well.The option to purchase used does exist too. I run 4 MP40’s and bought them all used.
corey
It eats only Organics (fish poop)How can an acan be vegan? Im in!
Unfortunately, this type of stuff just doesn't happen in this hobby. Things like this happens everywhere in the world like shoes/clothing, cars, houses, etc. Everyone wants a Mercedes, but it doesn't mean you have to buy it. Same with corals like JF Homewrecker, or WWC Allstar, or whatever. Yeah, they're nice, but you don't have to buy it. Especially directly from them, there is always someone who's selling it cheaper than direct.It’s sad that a person that loves this hobby has to take out All kinds of loans to be in this hobby. The prices on coral and fish has gotten ridiculous. The shipping is also starting to get out of hand. It’s sad that WWC, JF, and others are getting rich taking advantage of hobbies. The live sales are a joke. Price are raised for the sales. I wish someone would or could drop the prices to at least be far. Paying hundreds to thousands of dollars for a coral the size of a pea makes me sick. It seems that the prices as time goes is going up. I do want to say if we find LFS like the one in Duluth Ga. you can get all of the WWC, JF etc. corals for a good price. They bought all of the named corals and grew them out. They only order corals if something new comes out. Check them out, they have a lot of stock, and good prices. Shame on the crooks that robs hobbies.
Getting qt done correctly would be a huge issue. You would collect all the new and unknown diseases from peoples tanks unfortunately.I have a small dream of creating a co op. Without going into too much detail, doing a crowd sourced fundraiser to purchase / rent a warehouse and turning it into a grow out facility.
then folks can send in all their names coral frags, receive credit for corals, and even recognition amongst members.
then grow stuff out to be given back to Co op members at a reasonable price / point system.
even thought of using volunteer hours as points to buy things.
you get the gist of what I’m saying. We the hobbyist could make a grab at it.
The problem is, corals can only grow so fast. ACI Aquaculture has a huge facility like this, running for 12 years, only can grow so much however. Within those 12 years, EVERYTHING changed. Aquaculture is a VERY rough business, countless of sleepless nights, especially the first few days. Also NO ONE is going to volunteer, you have to pay them or you get thieves and it is very hard work not to get paid.I have a small dream of creating a co op.

So I had a very similar idea actually. It's just so hard to find that many dedicated reefers willing to fund and house that type of set up.I have a small dream of creating a co op.

Only way reefers would fund it if they see results. However you can't show results if you haven't even started. It's a very long process.So I had a very similar idea actually. It's just so hard to find that many dedicated reefers willing to fund and house that type of set up.
