as long as parameters are fine, you can add as many frags as you want. corals won't add hardly anything if any to the bio load.

Corals wont add much to the bioload, that is why so many people buy and sell frag packs where there a dozen or more frags at once. But remember that the more frags you add the more of calcium and such fom the water, especailly if they are LPS or SPS frags. So as you start adding more and more coral make sure to test calcium alk and magnesium.

One more thing is as people start adding corals they start feeding there corals with oyster feast or the like, becareful as you can over feed that and cause water quality to drop so start off feeding very slow.
