How many coral can you add at once?

[Ambiturner006]

I may have gotten a little carried away with WWC's live sale last weekend, and now that I'm actually tallying up the damage, I'm curious how many coral have you ever added at once?

I know they don't add much to the bioload, especially considering they're all frags, but still. Would adding 15-20 frags (the 9 for $99 pack was too good to pass up at the end...) all at once cause any problems? Should I try to arrange to pick them up in smaller sets to avoid any shock to the system?

Add as many at once as you want. Just watch your alk to make sure you start replenishing the nutrients the corals will be absorbing.

I would quarantine first. Introducing that much is asking for a disaster

Dip/Remove frag plugs and you're pretty safe. Although I'd watch out for byropsis it coming from WWC and all. I've had a few pieces from there have it.

Good luck!
