The tank is only 10 months old I think I’ll be running out of room by next Thanksgiving

Near full, but only with full grown sizes in mind. I have a bunch of small frags currently, but accommodating for the room they’ll require as they grow in order to not touch and sting anything, then my tank is nearly full and almost out of spots. So I’ll definitely be a lot more picky with these last few selections.

Going to the LFS is getting harder and harder now since I have little room for the corals I now want!☹️

Easy, frag the old coral and make room for new coral!

I keep fragging and giving away and throwing away corals but this stuff grows way too fast. Hard to maintain a nice aquascape when you have fast growing corals like staghorns...

Hats off to you. This is what I am shooting for, a few beautiful colorful corals that fill the tank!!!

My fish tank has too many tangs and I want to add more but the fish don't want any new companions. :(

My reef tank is destroyed and neglected. I want to restock, in a moderated load but I'm getting to lazy to keep it up.
It had an algae, then a coral pest that I could not beat so I need to reboot the entire set-up but Im on here typing instead. Here is a picture of the red algae that over ran my tank in the first wave of destruction.

Beware of the red wire algae from hell. It's still in the system but eventually it lost its virility? I don't want a crowded tank ever again.

My 3’ tank continues to grow with more coral added. My 2 newest additions (literally added just a few minutes ago) are a deep blue/green Hystrix and a Teal Calliendrum. Both to go with my lime berry Hystrix.

I didn't realize he was in that picture. I had to look real close as he is as big as a quarter. :D
It took me a while to spot him but I was looking at some of those leathers and gorgs you have (which are all beautiful) and stumbled across his yellow fins!

I have no room for any more coral or fish. I keep adding rock to creat new outcrops to add more coral but even that is at its limit. Buying snails does not give the same thrill of a new fish or coral so I may have to buy another tank!!!

My tank is just about stuffed to the limit and beyond with both fish and coral. I regularly have to frag stuff to reduce coral warfare or shading. Yesterday my fav FLS had a black Friday 15% off all livestock event and I bought 2 SPS frags. They are currently sitting on my frag rack and am.not sure where I will put them.

Beautiful! How many years of growth is this?
