My tank has been having this annoying 'old tank syndrome' for a while now: NO MORE SPACE for new corals

. There are a lot of sps that I want to add to my collection but couldn't find the space for them, and having to keep some of the new frags in the frag tank now. As you see in this video, I have tried to put corals all the way to the side glasses, back glass and ~2" away from the front glass in a 30" wide and 6ft long tank and still run out of space

. I used my iphone 6plus to record this, not the best quality but still not bad. Hope you like the view

That is amazing! I can help you make some room. I'll bring my ax and do some fragging

Beautiful problem to have!

squeeze some black egg crate on the sides and stick frags in it.
You may end up with no more room water soon...lol

Thanks guys! Glad you guys like it. I'll try to make a topview video to share soon.. got the clips couple months ago but haven't got time to put them together into a single video yet. The topview would show more corals.. In the front view video above, the colonies in the front blocked out the view of the corals in the back.
