is there a recommended coral per gallon ratio? Silly question, cause it all depends on what's in there, particular on the tank etc, right? just asking cause my lovey wife who is not a coral expert just told me I can't get anymore coral and I am trying to figure out why .
If you can fit more in without non-compatable types touching, yoh can never have too much. Wifey just wants you to spend less cash on coral and more on her.
You might be an engineer if...You have no life, and you can PROVE it mathematically.

Haha, yeah. I guess the whole I don't have a job thing while going to school is annoying her. Especially since finally trying to stocking the tank nearly 4 years after I started it. I Had to get it mature!
But seriously as long as I know what's what and the dangers of something stinging and/or over throwing other corals I should be able to pack this thing wall to wall right? Its only 34 gallons!
Yeah, but it's gotta grow first. But seriously, clam pearls are ugly blobs.
Back on topic, I'd say the amount of coral you can have is limited by what they need to survive and grow. So that would mean maintaining appropriate and stable water parameters, access to proper light, and sufficient space from competing neighbors.
Cool, I'm on track of that, I've got a huge gap in areas around certain coral like frogspawn, nem and some chalice. I would say the tank is full accounting for a year or two of growth. I think I'm at 50 corals +/- although they are all rather small colonies or frags. I do need a few more for areas where light gets to but are in between rocks maybe some low light stuff. I think I should just pull my crap together and post the pics over the years in a tank build compilation.
