Thank you for welcoming Elliott 3 to this forum. We, 3 Elliotts, are exploring the possibility of starting a micro-business growing and selling coral. We do not need to make much money, simply enjoy a hobby, and maybe ultimately help our son clear a net profit of say $400/ month. How feasible is this? CoVid-19 changed our plans and we are looking for a new way to enjoy life and still pay the bills. :-D Thanks again. E3

Welcome!!!!!

Welcome.
I think making a business of selling frags is to get people on board. Word of mouth is a good way to get started. Initial investment will be high. Are you propagating or buying wholesale? Also, shipping is a high price game. Make sure you look into options.
Good luck!

Welcome to R2R... A micro-business is a possibility, but not necessarily a get rich quick solutions. Also depends on your saltwater experience. I suggest doing some searches her and see what it brings up.

Thank you! We will continue searching here. Also, will visit an Aquatic Critters, an aquarium store in our area.

Thank you!
We haven't started anything yet. We are exploring. An acquaintance nearby has offered to give us a 10-gallon system to play with as a starter. He has also offered about 10 corals to begin propagating. We would definitely reach out to him regarding shipping from our area. What options come to mind as places to start research?
Again, thanks for the information and well wishes.
