Hi all,
I have kept reef tanks for about 25 years, our big tank is currently torn down till we are sure we are not moving for a long time! My 7 year old daughter loved our tank, and last year, won her school's science fair with her project on bacteria. well, she decided to roll that project into this years science fair project on how bacteria makes a reef tank flourish, and also the biodiversity of a reef. We bought a nano cube, set it up using some Tonga branch I had in the garage, cycled the system and documented it all with photos. Well, now she just added her first fish, a black clown fish and we are looking for some bright corals to put in to make a little reef. I don't have much cash, I just had my knee replaced and so I was out of work for a while. My old club in Colorado had a great "don't break the chain" program and I was wondering if folks here had something similar? I am not opposed to paying for a few frags, but the prices the LFS charge in the Seattle area are obnoxious! I would like to get a few corals, let nature take it's course in her tank to fully document and grow, then frag out and give away back to folks in need in the area. I will add photos of the little tank's build and all, and maybe some folks in the Puget Sound area have some little frags of beginner corals with some nice colors to offer up for free, or a decent price. Just remember that the frags that come back into the deal will be free! Well, if anyone is game, LMK what you have and we will set things up. We like zoas, shrooms, a small head of green hammer, pom pom xenia, well you get the idea! Thanks for looking! Pics to come when I get them loaded.
