      @@triccele Breeding corals to be hardier in higher temps and lower ph would help, that's why most corals die and some don't. Some are hardier than others. We need more sensitive corals to be bred to be hardier by fragging them and subjecting slowly to a more hostile environment. Via Higher temps lower Ph and different current speeds in a tank. Then we can try releasing them after a couple generations and see how they do.

    years ago i would go to coral fragging conventions and grow coral and a lot of us would give it to companies that would redistribute them to dying colonies.

    1:43 This video was one of many reasons I left the reef aquarium world. The amount of growth and color those frags achieved in 6 months is ridiculous. I'm over here spending hours on maintenance and would have been happy with half that growth they'd get in the flippin wild. They did no water changes, no dosing, no screwing with lights. Mother Nature wins again.
