No experience but do you have 'Book of Coral Propagation' by Calfo?

Tropicorium is a neat place. Very ghetto style in some aspects but what the tanks and equipment service is most certainly not ghetto. Worthwhile seeing if you're ever in the SE Michican or Windsor or Sarnia Ontario areas.

Jayson over at SWC built a greenhouse before he opened his warehouse storefront. I haven't yet seen it though.

You can read this tread on RC. It steps you through beginning to I'd imagine bankruptcy.

Been to Tropicorium and Dick and Ray are great guys, but probably not what you want to setup in what I would consider the next generation of greenhouses for coral prop. He doesnt skim, that being said he gets salt mix at aquarium prices, almost free.

Let me know I can pass on Calfo's info if you want to contact him directly for advice.

Creston eh? Great little place! I'd have to come out and visit and see this greenhouse someday! Good luck with the project!

I'm confused, because he doesn't skim one shouldn't follow his proven method?

No offense, but Mr Perrin has 4 decades of experience in saltwater / reef keeping, you'd pretty much think he knew what was really needed. And his methods have been proven long term.

Just because he doesn't use high zoot, expensive and inefficient toys, does that mean we shouldn't learn from his years of experience?

(BTW really good interview with him in the June/July Coral Magazine)
