Is there really not store's like that in the U S? I started this hobby here in korea so i havent been to any reef stores back in the us. I was hoping this is what they would look like when i got back.

I work at a store in Omaha, NE and we run a 600g shallow. That includes sump and refugium volume. I will have to grab a pic next time I work.

i'm pretty sure this is how they did it. I asked a guy who spoke perfect english in another store that's further away than this one is to me, about korea and fragging and he said that they hobby really isnt that popular over here. So everyone buy's colonies. Their are more people buying reef tanks to display at a bussiness(hotel) than to have as a hobby here in korea. But the guy that run's this store will sell me frag's for 5 bucks a pop. I just go around to all the tank's and look for anything that's been broken off.LOL.

Hello, Wildmanzeke

 

Which Korean store did you go. I'm also from S. Korea. If you are looking for "frag store" in Korea, there aren't many around metro Seoul. http://oceankorea.kr/ will have SPS frag as well as some LPS frag for about $10 each. Cheers ..

Hi Greenpower,

 

I go to themarium.com. or aqua119.net. The marium has way better selection and the prices aren't bad. usually 35,000W for a small colony of SPS. That's awesome to know they sell frag's. Where are they located by the way?

Hello, wildmanzeke

 

Great that you were able to stop by OceanKorea. I also stopped by Sea Apple LFS

http://www.seaapple.co.kr and got myself pom pom Xenia. I wanted get a frag but they didn't have one for Xenia. Here is video

 

BTW : If not acro frag, first one look like "finger leather frag" to me. Also you send you a PM. Hope to chat you later later.

Hello guys/gals, I will be moving to Korea and I was looking to order a 240 gal from one of the LFS.

Does anyone know if they will be able to order tanks that size? If so are the prices reasonable? Thanks

I gotta say we are very lucky to have a store that's amazing in Columbus, OH. I hadn't been there before, but went to reefsystems last weekend and holy crap! They have the largest coral farm I've ever seen. He has a huge greenhouse filled with tanks of coral that get direct sunlight and also has several tanks inside with traditional lighting. His coral is almost all aquacultured from his own stock and they look amazing. I highly recommend making the trip if you're even remotely close. Good stuff! www.reefsystems.com
