Hi all,
Ok just as a way to make a little (and I do mean little) extra cash, I was thinking of starting a propagation system of some sort in my basement. Nothing too large and expansive, just perhaps a tub the size of those Rubbermade ag. tubs. I know this may sound like a stupid question, but what all do I need to think about getting that would be different from starting a normal reef tank. Obviously I need water (check), salt (check), sand (I can get it), MH light (again I can get it). Would a closed loop be best for circulation? Since it will be in my basement I don't think I will care much on the looks of everything, which is good. Anyone else done this and have recommendations. I would really like to plumb it to my main tank, but I dont think that is very do-able at the moment. Thanks for any suggestions.
