Non Aquarium Propagation System Ideas (1 Viewer)

[Chewy]

Recently. I spoke with some folks about alternative holding/propagation systems and where to source them.

Buckhorn/Titan Bin
Used Bulk Containers, Wire Baskets, Used Totes, Gaylords > Container Exchanger

Fiberglass Raceways
Home | Red Ewald, Inc.

The above are proven options but I am researching alternatives.

I came across the following when looking at fiberglass pools:

Royal Splash

Anyone sell these or know what these sell for?

Does anyone have another idea for alternative coral holding/propagation systems?

Please share

Another thing I am playing with is a HDPE lined plywood box.

So far it works on a small scale but I need to try larger volumes when I have more time. Due to HDPE costs would really only useful when you get into the larger sizes.
