Welcome to the Reef-Farm

This site will follow the creation of an Agricultural Facility specializing in both the culture of marine reef species, and the study of sustainability in artificial environments. 

This site looks to document the processes and operations of an ornamental marine aquaculture facility. 

The reef-farm is now nearing the end of the setup phase.  We have just about finished the construction of a 26'x52' poly covered greenhouse to use as the shelter and work area for the vats which will house all of the broodstock plus the corals in growout.  I will try to rotate pictures through the area to the right as things get accomplished, and you can follow the progress here, here, and here as well.  You can also see what it took to even start a facility like this by checking out this

 

The outer portion of the construction has just been finished and now it is time to start on all of the tasks on the inside.  With any luck the final chunk will get done in the next few weeks and from there the (more) fun work begins.  If you want to follow the construction and setup of the farm you can do that from the Setting Up section.
