    I've put too much in my tank, not so much from a fish perspective as I just have 4 small fish and 1 medium but I have too many frags in there now I counted tonight I have over two dozen different items in my tank (counting each zoa and paly colony individually).

    I was teetering on the edge between looking good and looking crowded and I just toppled that line and I think my tank looks absolutely awful.

    Bah, I guess I'll start by culling out some of the frags and trading them in for credit.

    This stuff is like crack.

    agreed with Ir0001

    put some pictures up

    provided agressive species are not touching
    and you run carbon to take care of chemical warfare
    a full display looks very nice

    If I wanted to look at rock - I would have a FOWLR tank

    Hi, My name is Steve and it's been 2 days since I bought a frag...

    coming right up.

    ;D "coral crackers" that just doesn't sound appetizing at all.

    I'm with ya, I just feel I got too over eager and lost my sense of patience with this.

    forgive the purple epoxy on the new white base rock that is my home made frag rack so that it loosk someone natural and I can still pull and replace frags off of that rock as I need to move them.

    there is no where near to many corals in there

    you may depending on the age of your set up, have but to many to quickly?
    but if your water quality is good (nitrates under control)
    and the coral open up nicely and look OK
    then IMO it will only look better in time

    My guess is that you think it's full because you're looking at a bunch of ugly frag plugs. Once the corals grow over them and the rock, you'll be more than happy and have an awesome looking tank
