When do you say enough?

[Aquattro]

Or do you, like me and others I know, need an intervention? I continue to acquire frags with absolutely nowhere to put them. I have about a dozen unique frags sitting in racks, and not a square inch of useable space to mount them. Most of them tabling too, so they need a fair bit of room.
How do you decide what needs to go in order to make room? No, bigger tank is not an option...

Who else does this??

Its not a hobby...it's a disease.Trust me i know what your talking about.In quite a few areas my acropora have maybe a 1/2 inch between them.And i can't stop getting more.

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.

I wish I had a 1/2 inch. I've got to cut a bunch today just to stop the fighting!!

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 space in my tanks so if you need counselling i'm there for you! buddy, pal.
