there is always space. :P
But if it is more you dont want to put stuff where there is room, you can always start culling the less desired pieces and softies :P

Yeah, I thought about culling today but instead I got my dremel and my dry base rock from bulk reef supply and made two rock ledges jutting out off of the main reef in the highest light areas directly under the halides about 1/4 the way down. I also put frag plug size holes in the centers of these ledges so that I can throw a plug in there if a desirable piece comes my way. So, I do have room for two more sps frags but that is about it. There is plenty of space for less light loving species as well as sand dwellers though.

I was cutting my dry base rock from bulk reef supply yesterday using a chisel. Hard to do a precise job this way.
What tool are you using with your dremel to cut the rock?

Hi, sorry to say that I don't know the proper name for the attachment that I was using. But it looks like a drill bit and cuts perfectly! I was also using the black, round disk that is meant for cutting small pieces of pipe for making smooth back sides. Once the back of the piece was smooth I drilled 1/4 inch holes into the back. These holes were filled with super glue and then I forced my epoxy into them as well. This made a nice place for the glue and the epoxy to bond. Then I put superglue on the front side of the epoxy waited about 2 min and pressed it onto the existing rock work. Stuck like a charm.
