    While you can pack a tank full of corals, another thing to think about is calcium/alk/magnesium consumption rates... when you have a lot of SPS corals, these consumption rates are going to go up, and your system will either need to have a calcium reactor in place or you'll need to dose to keep up...

    I know it was mentioned that your params need to be in check, but since SPS will start to deplete levels so quickly, I think it's worth mentioning because inadequate dosing or control of your calc/alk/mag levels can be a limiting factor.
