I was inspired by this thread but wanted to make this an official QOTD with a poll so here we go!

So in order for this to make sense we need to know 2 things:

1. How many corals (including frags) do you have in your main display tank?

2. What's the size of your main reef tank display?


BONUS: Share a photo of your reef with all the corals!

Amazing tank and not a single SPS in sight!! wow
 
The tanks on this amazing!!
 
I have 5 but my 54 gallon tank has only been up since March 1st. Hope to be adding my “live rock” soon and seeing how my current corals react before adding more.
 
I got up to 100 in a 90 gallon with 3 frag racks, but with all of the growth and harvesting it's probably down to about 60 now.

I had 7, counting all the palys and rhodactis each as 1. There are prob. a dozen each of those covering their own stand alone rocks. Over the last week, I've added 21 small frags

Just starting, so zero.

I'm just now starting to think about what my first few will be, since my water params have been looking good for a bit.

not a vote for my situation. Still cranking up the display so zero. BUT I have around over 100 frags in my QT tank waiting patiently...

Hmmmm....

1. Currently, to date, I have 63 corals. Mostly LPS as that is my obsession, but SPS and softies included in the mix as well.

2. My current system is a 75g display tank 48"x18"x21" with a sump that holds 15g with the water levels I maintain; all in it is a 90g system.

BONUS: Here is the most up to date photo I have of my tank. This photo doesn't include my war paint Scoly or my Crocea clam, but it has the majority of my new additions taken almost 2 months ago now. One of these days I will take a more up to date photo of my stocking.

I’m at about 52. My system is 72 gal.
