Well we have talked it over and we think that our question will be 
 
"Can aquacultured corals restore a reef"
 
My son's astute hypothysis thanks to years of watching my tanks and his is that yes they can but we will be proving this conceptually with his pico reef. 
 
I wan't to get it set up this weekend and take some base line pictures and then stock it as much as I can over the next 2 weeks. Then we can chart the progress over the next few months and observe the coral growth. 
 
I know that really SPS corals would be really what rebuilds a reef but the principle will be the  same.
 
Anyone in edmonton care to donate a frag or 2
