Cool beans!
Interesting concept for repairing reefs.

Very cool idea. Thanks for the link.

Interesting, it's cool how innovative people can be. Glad to see this sort of stuff going on.

It's interesting that we worry about stray voltage in our tanks yet they have proven that it promotes growth in corals. I'm confused...

BigAl07 · 12-18-2007, 08:55 AM

That's a very direct and controlled voltage where-as a faulty electrical unit is anything but that. Plus it HURTS

I have seen several things along these lines funny how the ocean is different than our tanks ie they can sink a 90,000 ton shio made of steel & the corals inverts & fish take to it right away.

Put a stell washer in our tank & everything dies.

Just proves one thing again we just experiment daily & the ocean has already figured it out.

Good point Jack. When you think about the steel ship, you have to think about how large the ocean is and level of metals that mix in the water = extremely diluted. I have read where the colts and silks grow right on the ships. Interesting, and thank you for the link. Great video.
