Is there a limit to how many corals you can have?
I've been wondering, could you technically have your tank completely full of corals if you kept your parameters in check(calcium, alkalinity,magnesium)? Is there any limit?

Resources and space will eventually have a finite limit. Still need to have enough total volume in the system with adequate flow and light for growth to continue. I'm sure someone will post an incredibly packed tank picture.

Only limit is space if you have the space pack it if you want, also beware of warfare if things touch

Yeah, I think you'd 'cube out' before 'weighing out' the tank. Having said that, I have seen mature SPS tanks absolutely stocked to the rim with corals; doesn't leave a lot of room for fish, so perhaps its self regulating.
