I just read that thread. Interesting, but not for me...I'm the kinda guy who'd burn the house down trying to electricute my tank lol

It might make corals grow fast.But I'll bet 100 to 1 that there will be issues with the corals health in the long run.
Thats like feeding chickens steroids,they may grow faster,but they dont live long.

Personally, I wouldn't attempt it regardless of growth or long term health. I do any wiring in the house, including extending or installing circuits, but don't want to mix electricity with water :shock:

I am not even going to click on that link. It sounds rediculous. People take this hobby to a level that is un-needed.

I heard if your calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is in check, your SPS will grow. Don't quote me though......

You also need great flow and good lights too. Some people are just rediculous.
