Thanks.
thought you had no space for a second tank.

In regards to the price of these units, if it was too high the demand wouldn't exceed the supply. Simple concept. The price isn't cheap and it's not for everyone but there are plenty of people who would easily justify the cost, the value is there.

I don't.... But I may find a spot in the garage... The second tank would be a holding tank for frags and when they are ready I can put them in the main display... It will also be my " insurance policy" in case if any of the corals die off... Cheaper than having to buy them all over again.

I know someone started a frag tank just for that reason. and he filled the frag tank with all new frags instead.

Hmmmm... I wonder who? When I am ready to start my second one will be a holding tank. I am not gonna kid myself... I will be holding some new additions but it will primarily be my insurance policy in case something goes wrong in the main tank.
