Do you have a reef aquarium?

I have not set one up since my most recent move yet, but my last system was approx.1200 gallons and consisted
of 3-300 gallon fiberglass rubbermaid stock tanks like used to water cattle and a 180 gallon glass display all connected together by a sump and bulk heads,the display was lit with 20,000 kelvin metal halides and the vats were in a connected greenhouse for fast coral growth.

I have kept reef tanks small as 2.5 gallons though.

I am itching to get a new system up and running but am going to steer away from a commercial operation for now
since I have 2 small children age 5 and 3 that need my time
more.
I need to get something going for a hobby though,maybe a very small "real live" Nemo (Percula Clown) breeding system,and a small coral propagation/display tank....

after rereading your reply,I guess u probably don't....?

I use to have coral transshipped to me through a importer in California at LAX the main port of entry for most live coral
since it has to go through wildlife customs.

I usually brought them in from Tonga, Fiji,Marshal Islands,and Indonesia...then sold them on Ebay.

There is many many people doing this on Ebay now as well as many online suppliers,coral farms and BB's about
the hobby.

It has become a multi million dollar industry now since when I started,when no one was hardly in the hobby, but thousands upon thousands are involved now..hence my hope that maybe someone here was involved in the hobby,as well
