Pattern that always repeats

Time to clear out some stuff. This always happens to me. How about you?

Have you seen how full of rock my tank is?

My next step is a bigger tank, I even have my husbands agreement ....all I have to do is find the money

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

Hmm, frag rack........

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

I didn't even go to the store, Japarto msg'ed me on my BB to tell me he had stuff. I HAD to go look....got 2 nice colonies and he gave me a bunch of frags out of his display tank. I couldn't say no!

It is hard to resist them. I'm just as bad!
My solution is to cut back or remove some of the colonies for more room. It's hard to chop away at a coral you've grown up from a little frag so I chose to electrocute them instead and take out the dead ones.

LOL, you know you've got a problem when the store owner calls you. I have the LFS here calling me too

Have three frag racks and mag-mounted frags as well.
