81 Fluval Evo 13.5...

I have a problem... they say that the first step to recovery is acknowledging it. I think it just gets worse

I counted mine yesterday. 21. On a 180. I don't have as many as others, but my colonies are pretty big. So what I lack in quantity, I make up for in colony size. Some of my acros are the size of basketballs.
Name change!

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!

Now that’s sweet great job but makes me second guess my upgrade to a 180gal is gonna be to small might have to rethink tank size

Bigger is definitely better if u have the space and if u keep running cost in mind so it doesn't become a burden. Unfortunately regardless what tank size you go for it'll look small after some time.

This thread is dangerous, I currently have around 15 I believe but this makes me want to go on a shopping spree seeing everyone's count here.

Only 4 months into my 50 gallon cube, so all frags growing out, except one pink bubble colony I got. I’m done buying until I see how everything fills in.
I have 30 corals
12 are on two rocks to establish a zoa garden
4 are on a rock for a Euphyllia garden
5 are split between two rocks for an Acan garden
4 mushrooms at different spots
2 different blastos
1 toadstool leather
1 gsp on the overflow wall
1 five mouth pink bubble colony
