Hi guys,
I've pondered alot about the idea of starting a coral farm....
The only problem is - I'm in Gauteng - meaning no NSW.
BUT I still think about doing it.
Do you think it will be worth one while to look at doing something like this in the vaal?
I don't want to get rich out of it, but it will be nice if the hobby can pay for itself.
If one can setup +- 10 tanks to start with.
The problems that i can see that one will face:
1. Heating of water (in winter)
2. Cooling in summer.
3. Water changes (salt is damn expensive these days)
4. Coral food (also damn expensive)
But I also think we need to propagate way more in any case!
So what's your ideas on something like this gents (and ladies)?
Can this work or not?
What other problems/issues must i think off before start a venture like this?
