How do you store frags in an already packed tank?
 
I'm running out of room for new colonies and I'm hitting the "no more coral" point pretty soon (leaving space for proper grow out). Those of you with tanks bursting at the seams, what are some of the space solutions for frags (sps)? Setting up a dedicated frag system is pretty much out of the question for quite a while.

The most clever I heard so far was a guy using Tunze powerhead magnets strapped to egg crate, so he could hang the frags against the glass.

Yep! Eggcrate stuck on with suction cups or magnets, or hung from something...

I suppose you could make your own with small neodymium magnets dipped in epoxy.

Oh just talk to JkhChris he is the master. It's all about levels. he had frags mounted to powerheads, magfloats with holes drilled in them for frag plugs. His 65G tank had more coral in it than my 400G.

Murray...you beat me to it, I was gonna tell Kwirky the same...just send them to me, I'll "store" them!

However, I would like to see a picture of this packed tank!

Have you investigated the "pegging system" for mounting SPS? You would be suprised how many SPS you can securely fit in an aquascape using this method.
