"Nothing left to buy" is something I have never heard in this hobby................until today.

Hahahaha, oh man. Well, could try replacing all your livestock with ultra and rare pieces. That's always fun and wallet draining. Or if you've just need to part with money to make you feel better, I do take donations in the form of money transfer (email preferred).

Whenever I feel like this I have to stop myself and get my head back into the minutiae of reefing which, seemingly counter productive, means going hands off for a while. Start letting those newly acquired corals fill in and mature. Focus on pimping out the water quality, lighting and flow to tweak growth rates and colour. You've got all the bits needs to turn your reef into a work of art (from the sounds of it), so use those to paint an epic picture.

Here's a challenge for ya... Let's see your tank at TOTM-ready quality by the end of the summer?

Hahahaha, buy some xenia. Grows fast and aftermath will keep you occupied.

You'll be surprised. Give your corals some hands off time and it'll start to grow faster. I have a blue/purple tabling-branching colony that, once I started to leave it alone, just took off in terms of growth. It grows about 1+" per branch every month and makes about 3+ new branches per branch per month. It's freaking nuts. You could probably sit there and watch it grow.

Tweak your growth and get it to fill in!

If you're older than 18 and aren't going to school you shouldn't live with your parents.
