livingart Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Electrifying your frags http://www.treehugger.com/clean-technol ... reefs.html The electricity helps jump-start the corals' healing process by facilitating the aggregation of limestone - a key building component of reefs - on the metal structures. Once enough limestone gathers in one area, divers can affix fragments of live coral from damaged reefs to the structures. The reefs in Bali have responded very well to the shock therapy - with their renewed growth once again attracting a variety of fish and other organisms. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3717168.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 just remember stray current in your tank can contribute to lateral line disease in your fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeh1 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I do one or two frags. Don't reckon it would make a difference. The literal line disease can also cause human disease which can be hospitalization material. I may have the wrong disease but its the one that is most common in blue hippo tangs and causes them to go hearing gutted even though looking healthy. Rule is if you get a cut in your reef tank and it doesn't heal so you doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
