Out of curiosity.... how many different corals do you have?

[sfsuphysics]

Some time back when looking at the SPS forum over at RC someone mentioned they had 70 frags in their tank, and I thought holy cow poop that's a lot of corals.... then I went about counting mine, and realized holy cow super poop, I have more than that!

So curious, how many different corals do you have, now by different I mean anything other than a frag that you planted elsewhere so you now have two of the same, however similar corals (digitata for example) that are different color morphs (green vs orange) I would count as different. And how big is your tank?

Was going to poll it, but figured with the wide range of tank sizes it'd be kind of meaningless without a poll with 30 choices

30-35.. 40G breeder.. Not too many.. I try to stick to 1 per gallon rule LOL ...

 

[tuberider]

I have no idea.... 100 maybe?

 

[Erick]

28g, I only have 6, just getting started

 

[seminolecpa]

I lost count.

 

[sfsuphysics]

So count again!

 

[sfsuphysics]

87 for me.

35 Acropora
17 Montipora
7 Other sps.
10 Acans
18 Other lps

ok, but what really matters is corals/gallon

 

[seminolecpa]

Think Jeremy would win that battle hands down

 

[seminolecpa]

Rough Count-125 (not including duplicates or anything in the frag tank)

Acros-48
Chalices-28
Acans-12
Favias 14
Montis-10
Paly/Zoa-6
Micros-4
Blastos -2
Lobo-1

 

[tuberider]

111 by my rough count.

80 gallon system.

 

[CookieJar]

I lost count too but know it's at least 100.

the next question should be what's your survivial/ thrive rate? I'm probably 90% survival but 75% thriving (if that's a word!).

 

[sfsuphysics]

Damn Bryan, 28 chalices? I lumped mine in the "other" category with 3

Roughly 1 coral every 2 gallons of water... I like to keep a light bioload

 

[Gomer]

40g

Unique frags
SPS = 38
LPS= 51 (13 chalice, 20 acan, 18 other)
Softies = 8

97 unique frags/40g = 2.4 unique frags/gallon lol

 

[Elite]

you are way over stock Tony.. I still have some room in my tank ..

 

[Factor-5]

20 gal. tank

1 zoa polyp.

 

[Ibn]

Acros-21
Chalices-10
Acans-7
Favias-8
Montis-12
Paly/Zoa-10
Micros-2
Blastos-3
Lobo-1
Softy-2
Other LPS-2

Won't go into coral/gallon there.

 

[A_Lee]

37 in my 33g cube tank (40g total volume).



... wow, haha

 

[seminolecpa]

Yep. I lumped the echinos, oxyporas and mycediums into "chalices". I was pretty surprised by that number too.

 

[Elite]

Acros-21
Chalices-10

don't know how the heck you fit all that in a 10G :bigsmile:
