I'm just curious how heavily stocked everyone's tank is. Please base your gallons on the display gallons ONLY and not full system gallon. Thanks!
This will require some math....fish/gallons. The result will most likely not be a whole number unless your tank is very heavily stocked...
While I understand that inches of fish per gallon might be a better determinate in "tank overcrowding" I feel that typically most people's fish end up averaging out to similar lengths. I did not use this metric because I'm also curious how many different "personalities" people are able to keep in a single aquarium.
I'm working on this theory that fish and their moment around corals is critical in how SPS and other corals feed and remove waste. In our home systems powerheads play this role (flow) but I'm trying to figure out how large of a role fish play in the equation. If you watch the above video fish are totally packed around some of the SPS corals. The movement of the fish is creating "flow" for the corals(allowing them to feed/expel waste).
To add to that, the fish would be practically pooping right into the coral, providing nutrients directly to the corals.
