I just started adding corals to my 135 display(previously FOWLR) about 3 months ago. I add like 3 every couple of weeks or so and am up to about 30 total.

there is no choice in the poll for none. I am in the process of leak testing a 75 Gal hand me down and looking for a stand that will fit the sump I inherited too. Waiting for quote back from Framing Tech.

 

[Jeto2004]

260 gallon - little shy of over a year old. Still stocking with coral frags..... really need to get a new FTS....

 

[Paulie069]

none yet! Just started my first salt water tank a week and a half ago. kind of curious what you think about when to add corals

It will happen, if you can see it in your head then you can see it in your tank

Well over 90

Beautiful job my brother, I can only hope that I can have a tank like that some day

I have a few more than 50 corals in my tank (no frags). Mostly zoas but some LPS and SPS. I also have over 40 anemones (36 RFA, 2 curly-Q, 4 mini-max).

I made my tank and it's a 90g tank with a 25G sump/fuge. It's 36" x 30" x 20". I love the 30" front to back dimension.

You have pic of curly-Q?

 

[NDIrish]

Have (9).
Mushroom, Setosa milliapora, Duncan, (3) stereonephthya, pink Nephthea, litophyton and green Capnella.
125 gal tall tank. Going on 9 months.

More than I tell my wife, and more than the ones she finds after weekly monitoring.....

1. How many corals (including frags) do you have in your main display tank?
I'm going straight off of my poor memory, but I count 38. The only frags I have are a couple that I kept while trimming others. We'll see how well I did when the lights come on.

2. What's the size of your main reef tank display?
My DT is a 6' 125.

One note of caution for those packing their tanks with frags. Don't do as I have done.
As my corals have grown, I've become complacent. I let them go. Now I have large colonies (which is what I want), but I've let them grow together and I'm dealing with coral warfare. Algae grows in some places where corals meet. Shading is also an issue. I've been systematically pruning the tank, but don't want to go too fast for fear of throwing off my parameters too much. To date, I'm sure I've pulled well over 5 pounds of coral out and I have a long way to go.

The moral of the story is that you can have a beautiful tightly packed reef, but you really have to stay on top of it. Just something to keep in mind. I still think my tank is beautiful, and love it as much as I ever did. I've just got a lot of work to do. I'll edit with a picture when the lights come on.

Sorry for the rant. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

46 mostly zoa show pieces are the leathers and and anemones all in a 90g tank.

*edit*
counted last night 51. I missed a zoa and a devils hand frag. I also forgot the devils hand i cut from the tank that is starting to grow back in the same spot. a toadstool and blue shroom was also missed.
Now I have to change my answer to the poll.
