With respect to the metals leaching, and not getting technical, could there be a way to create a grid using carbon fibre/rod/mat rather than metal?
I'm not sure about the potentials, or if there is an anode/cathode issue, but it might solve the problem of leaching once the current has been turned off, enabling the base material to be retained and have SPS growth directly on the base?!?

The way I see it, if the limestone builds on the structure first, then Corals grow on limestone. You just chip off limestone/coral and voila, a frag to relocate. Or, just take clippings off, utilizing the 3-6x growth rate. A little structure in the corner of ones tank could be used to propagate frags continously. No need to worry about turning the electricity off, leeching etc. just keep growing. Also, for frag businesses, this could mean a great help. Set up complete tanks with mesh growing surfaces in them.
