PM me with some specifics. I can't find any nice SPS like you have in our area, especially the staghorns and acropora. I have a lot of other SPS like montipora, put they mostly tend to be plating/encrusting rather than branching.

Haha.... i was just kidding. (I though you were also)
I don't sell corals , because it will completely derail my private life.

Most of these corals i bring to the LFS or donate some to a good course.

Like this one:
92pcs donated frags, collected 600 euro for the makeawish foundation, who grants very ill kids the day of their live.

This was the handover "ceremony" by Franc the LFS owner who facilitated the sales of the frags.

That's awesome. Though, technically, it's not selling since I'm only paying for shipping

Sounds like you need an even bigger tank. 40,000L Upgrade? Then you can have more room for corals to grow and if that tank gets overgrown then you can house a bigger parrot fish to keep them in check.

Haha.. that's a very tempting tought

I also must apologize. For some reason I thought you were in South Florida! My bad.

Haha I'm with you, i wonder what it would cost to ship tank full of corals overnight from the Netherlands to Florida! Lol

Well...lets make a deal. (This is an exception).
If you can easily arrange the right papers and full payment for shipment to florida and i only have to put the corals you desire into a box for the pickup, you can get them for free.
Of course for private purpose and not the full content of the whole 2,5meter hahaha...
(I hate the work involved with sending packages, packing,shipping, paperwork etc.)

Yeah, I'm smart enough to know when I'm in a situation that exceeds my competence.

. I could probably get it done, but not without involving a third party!

There are a few pesky federal regulations you have to adhere to....not to mention licensing I don't have!

That's very good idea which i try to apply on this scape. I only need to have the discipline to prune in time, before they start growing into eachother

Wow I would be stressed about breaking off coral when when moving those sections

I realy hate this....[emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

I love the corals, i love the many species, i love the beauty of it all, i love the growth/growthrate.
But the one thing i hate is pruning and the aftermath....
- I hate the work involved.
- I hate it that the tank look like **** in the weeks/months after.
- I hate lobbying with the cuttings.

How do you guys deal with excessive growth?

I was unaware this was a potential issue!
