Hello, even though I just officially joined I've learned tons of useful info just reviewing threads on Google searches lol. I have a 40 breeder mixed reef currently. I recently decided to transition to SPS dominant and looking to add some nicer acros to the tank. I have attached the most recent photo I have of the tank. Thank you!

I leave plenty of open space for large future colonies

I plan for growth...but occasionally squeeze coral into tight spaces

I try to balance future growth with variety now

I fit in as many frags as I reasonably can

One more frag always wins! Future me can solve the problem...

It depends on the coral and how quickly it grows

I squeeze 'em in! Survival of the fittest, baby!!

I’m already out of room, so apparently we know my answer...
