Evaluate all your healthy and sick corals. Frag and save what looks promising. Sell off half of your coral collection and save only your favorite ones. In doing so, your maintanance will ease up quite a bit and you will have much plentiful space for your truely favorite pieces. I thought about trying this myself. My oh My, where time has gone

I think using tap water is catching up to me and could be a large part of the problem. I was going to install a RO unit when I set up my room with the built in display but may have to do it sooner than later. I do of course have my favorites, however I look at the others that aren't as nice and can't help but think they have potential and given some TLC could become a favorite. They all have some sort of story so I would have a hard time parting with them even if I know that would be best.
