Hey Michigan reefers im in the process of opening a tropical fish store in south eastern MI and need your help. I am trying to find several salt water hobbyist to buy frags off to stock our store. I am looking for high quality frags at a wholesale price, which means cheap, but i would be buying throughout the year not a one time deal. Idealy i would like to have a co-op of local hobbyist to buy from. Not sure if something like this has ever been done but i am always trying to keep my money local to help out my communities. I wouldnt be buying anything for about 6 months but want to spread the word early to see if this is a possibility. Any interested reefers can reply to thread or send me an email and we can talk from there.
 
Did you check out michiganreefers.com ?
 
How about buying up cheap corals from Craigslist?
 
I didnt even think about MI reefers.com ill check soon thanks. The stores gonna be in brownstown MI corner of dix toledo and king rd. its we are already a pond store and expanding into aquarium fish.
 
thought about craigslist but most of the people i talked to didnt have selection we wanted or not enough quantity, but we are looking on craigslist.
 
Chris, I hope you have found michigan reefers.com

That being said, what a great way to start off. Kudos to you for the initiative.

Just make sure that you supplement with some rarer stuff because if you sell frags from other hobbyists in the area, it sort of limits who you can sell to.
 
Yep found MIreefers.com and thanks for all your help. We are going to have to buy other corals from distributors but if i can help put a local hobbyist i always try to.
Ill let you guys know how this (co-op) innitiative goes
 
Too bad its not south west MI we need a good SW LFS in a bad way. I wouldnt mention your starting an LFS on michiganreefers.com. They are pretty tough on non sponsor businesses. You would be better off on captivesreefs.com. Membership on there is not as large but 95% michigan and the site owner is a real easy guy to work with.
