Reef/Coral Restoration using Seawater Electrolysis

[Melvyn Tan]

Hi reefers,

An interesting article and for those who wish to try out in the aquarium environment.

Seawater Electrolysis - Mineral accretion technology

Success in the projects undertaken.Story

Was thinking of using electrolysis to free nitrates but I'll lose many essential stuff before the nitrates are even freed

I have watched it before on channel 11 SCV..

do catch the repeat on weekends... dis comin sat...

not sure, will check the schedule and inform of everybody...

There was another thread recently on this and theoretically it can work in our tanks too...

Anyone going to try to put some wire mesh into your tank and grow coral from there??? Curious to know more

[Melvyn Tan]

There may be someone, you will never know

[zorden]

my company (near jurong) got a canal link to those pollute seas...maybe we should try to cultivate coral there..and we will get mutated sps

if u use the wrong materials, u'll kill everything in your tank. if u apply the wrong voltage, u'll dissolve limestone in your tank (drop in PH)(chlorine is produce using this same method). those that really want to try electrolysis should just forget about it (but it can be done). unless u've got the correct anode if not, most materials that u use as an anode will just dissolve right in front of your eyes.

6mm rebars will most likely last for only a few days and your tank will be completely brown due to Fe that has dissolved.

u'll need the most presize charger, + - . ? amp different makes a big difference.

exotic compound coated on titanium will only last 5 or more yrs as anode before it all dissolves into the water. anyway most ppl will never be able to get this material. (it's patented.... there is 2 companys in the world that produce them now) price is about 100-150 USD/m2 for retailers excluding frieght charges.

cheers
