that IS pretty interesting results. So this may point to another factor of electrical stimuli other than caclium carbonate build up. Unless calcium carbonate can form on concrete??? (I honestly dunno) FWIW, Dr. Yap and Dr. Sabater did a MAT study using metal and found that the corals grew faster closer to the electrode than further from it. This shows the need for a suitable substrate that will evenly conduct the electrical stimuli. A big issue with MAT is that Dr. Moreau (founder) has patented his design, which has put limitations on thorough studies and made some marine biologists skeptical of his motives and MAT altogether.indigoscuba:Oh, and about the MA project, we tried out a different approach, using concrete modules rather than electrically stimulated MA on pure steel modules since the latter setup is pretty expensive to fund. With our setup, artificially planted coral growth was better than the naturally growing corals. My mentor is Dr. Lemuel Alfeche btw.
IMO, concrete looks better than metal. But I'm a naturalist.
Well, you're in nursing now. And that's hard work but a very fulfilling job. I studied physiology pharmacology as my undergraduate, but my masters is in marine biology. Who knows, maybe you'll make a major career change. Anything can lead back to the sea.
