Cool Electric grid and 9 volt battery......

Hello Everyone,

I remember reading an article (maybe through reefs.org, reefcentral.com, or reefland.com library articles) that studied sps growth in the caribbean somewhere where they hooked up a 9 volt power source to an electric wire grid where they had attached sps frag to and studied their growth rates.

They had concluded that sps growth speeded up like crazy (I don't remember the exact rates of the top of my head).

The overall conclusion was that the growth was tremendous but the actual growth was brittle and more fragile than regular growth.

Has anyone ever studied this themselves? I would be afraid that I'd forget to turn off the 9 volt power source before sticking my hands in the tank, Lol!

Cool

Yeah, from what I've gathered and seen on some of the other reefboards, that apparently they have been doing these studies since at least 1994.
