Hmm.. I can relate. Only been into this hobby for 11 months and I've gone from the initital 22g nano, then bought a 12g nano for "overflow" corals and to the current 75g tank that is so full I am using Mag Disk coral frag mounts to allopw myself to use the glass walls as real estate. I have acros pointing into the tank.
I work in addictions, sometimes I look at my tank and think "what the heck is the big deal?" Then look closer and think "wonder if there is room for another, bluer SPS"

Thankfully(?), I am moving into a house in a few months.. I think the addiction will overcome any semblance of self control.

I have resorted to picking out the best of the bunch and selling the others. Most of mine are not large colonies yet though so your in a bit of a pickle. I would pick your least favorite colony and sell it as a whole to a happy reefer or frag the whole thing up and bring it to the frag and swap and have lots of happy reefers.

That way its a win/win as you have lots of extra room (for now) and you also made the world a happier place for your fellow reefers. :)

I'm thinking your query is rhetorical, and while I'm not yet there (okay, I'm there) I'm going with a bigger display for now. In the event a bigger display was not an option, I would either a) Have a good critical look to see what wasn't doing as well as it could be in my tank, and b) determine what was doing exceptionally well. I would sell or give away those in the first category, and heavily frag those in the second.

21 mini maxi's, 7 different varieties of hammers, 3 torches, 4 frogspawn and numerous other corals. It's got to the point if one goes in one has to come out. Hi my name is Jeff, I'm sick and there is no cure on the horizon.

Chronic, a disease that is long-lasting and reoccurring.
