ThePremiumAquarium Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That is what I intend on doing to mariculture my corals. I of course plan winning a large amount of $$$ to help fund it but you never know. Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Very cool indeed! The growth they get is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks Ryan - great link. Someone else posted that a while back as well and it was encouraging to see a group have some real success with a technique for rapid outgrowth. Seems like it could have major implications for habitat restoration as well as general propagation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 this is amazing. i have done smaller versions by taking several frags and gluing them all over a rock, but this is realy cool. i like that the bottom is open, giving the fish that many more places to swim. you could potentially do this in your tank using acrylic rods glued together.

chewie Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If only the NW Pacific Ocean was 30 degrees warmer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I agree with DH. The open design allows for hiding of smaller fishes along with excellent flow for the corals as they grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAD Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If only the NW Pacific Ocean was 30 degrees warmer!!! I find some 63 degree water when I am out tuna fishing off the Oregon coast in the summer. I need at least 57-58 to drop the gear. It is usally 60 miles out though. So we only need 20 more degree's LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Great for corals, the nets they ae using to breed the "TR" fish are not so good for the fish. The coral thing is pretty dope though IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
