So your saying i could apply electricity to my tank to make my corals grow faster? Interesting article though.

What happens when they get really big and take over the world????

You wouldn't want to just charge the water in the tank. It is similar to the aiptasia zapper idea. The + and - are not connected, but hooked to different pieces of metal. Click the links in the article. This is electrolysis of saltwater. I am guessing the electrolysis separates the ions in the water and makes them more accessible to corals. Sounds like a fun experiment and I have plenty of equipment. My big concerns in a contained system are rust and evaporation.
