Coral growth water displacement

[kartrsu]

I was filling my tank and I had a random question. For those of you long term reefers with tenured systems, how much water volume has been displaced by coral growth? Just kind of curious. Can’t imagine it’s a lot ... but maybe the answer will be surprisingly different.

Interesting question. I’m sure if you have a tank jam backed it will displace a bunch of water. I’ll be interested to see what others have to say.

I think in most systems it’s probably minimal, though with decade growth colonies perhaps significant. I have never bothered to check.
