Well, I started the hacking of the forest today. Parker came by and wanted a couple of monti cap frags and ended up leaving with 6 large colonies. I wasn't expecting to really get rid of that much but I think I will be continuing the purge over the next bit as time permits. I added a fugly tunze for extra flow while waiting for my wavysea and cleaned my wavebox for the 2nd time in almost 2 years tonight. I also decided to mod it and cut every second guard out of the screen. It worked and there is better wave action now.
I removed the entire saltynuts acro which was probably the size of a regular cantelope. I kept about an 1 1/2" frag that was left on the rock. May it grow again. I started that one when it was about 2".
I also removed a huge stag. Here's a picture. I started this as a 1" frag stuffed in a hole in the rock.
It's bigger than my head.
Overall, I'm very happy with the colony removals. Now I can place frags that have been in my frag tank for a while due to lack of room in the display and watch those grow.
