A way to reduce these costs is through cultivation in our home aquariums. Some members are already doing this. If I have XXX growing all over one side of my tank, and you have YYY multiplying in yours, then cultivate and exchange it. Most corals kept in our homes can easily be cultivated. As some already multiply on there own in our tanks.
Many questions arise.
I have some ideas, but would like some feed back on other possibilities. I am open for suggestions anyone might have. If we know who has what, we can generate a list with the data so others interested could trade for. It is set to take place at the June meeting. We can bag up our little animals and bring them along for trade.
