Coral propagation
Fish tank hobbyists usually install water filters that can keep the water clean and the fishes therein in the pink of health. There is also a wide range of water cleaning chemicals to rid the fish tank of disease-carrying bacteria. But the realistic marine habitat often necessitates more than these remedies. There must be a built in system to keep the fish tank clean using natural processes. One of the tested and proven methods is to propagate corals to improve water quality. This is achieved since corals propagated inside the tank contain calcium carbonate that will raise the carbonate hardness and buffer the pH. Aside from improving water quality, corals inside the fish tank add to its aesthetic value, corals being a natural part of the marine environment.
