Oh poor guy, cry me a river! Try juggling a new SPS addiction when your entire display is 12 gallons.

Seriously you have to make difficult decisions but know the corals you give away will prosper and give pleasure in someone else's home.

ya, I can see your point. 12g would take me about 7 minutes to fill. I just can't decide which corals have to go...

not sure getting them to you would be easy The frag tank/swap tank is a good idea, but all my corals are mounted directly to the rock, and not easily swapped in and out. To remove anything at this point is close to surgery -lol

Do what I did, take frags of all the corals you want to keep, remove all the rock and replace with new stuff......

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 considering going to softies. I'm kinda bored/tired of the fragging, pruning, getting rid of colonies and still not having room in the display. My large clam is trapped now, the only way I can get it out is if I break 2 colonies off of the rock.... I haven't bought a coral for
Well over a year.... Maybe that's why I'm bored. Well, it's pond season now anyway so I'll tinker outside.... Thanks for the avenue for the rant
