Default Pattern that always repeats

So one day you realize the new frags you came home with have nowhere to go. So you add a couple of small rocks from the sump to the front of the tank, and mount the frags. Then you come home with more frags and a couple of colonies you couldn't pass up, and remember you have no space for coral. Or for anymore small rocks in the front of the tank. Sigh....
Time to clear out some stuff. This always happens to me. How about you?

Well, for a bigger tank, I need money and a bigger wall! I'm setting up a new tank in the baby's room, so the LPS will move, but once again I have gorgeous frags lying on the bottom with me scratching my head!
And shite, if things actually start growing, I'm in serious trouble

LOL, I bought a frag rack a couple of years ago from OceanicCorals. I had it full 2 weeks after I bought it. I thought about buying another larger version but then Shelley (Borderjumper) told me about making my own. This was dangerous as I now have 3 frag racks (2 of which are rather large). I just got the damned things emptied before the frag swap in June and now I've gone and filled 2 of them again.

So far I've done really well at keeping "most" things off the bottom of the tank except for clams and ricordea and some acans (ok not "most" things then) but with real estate at a premium I can see I'm going to have to start getting creative here. Its just so hard not to buy stuff
