We have reef tanks to bring the ocean to us, I cant remeber seeing rocks in the ocean move around on its own like that. I do not see why anyone would like to try that. Yes poor fish trying to live in that enviroment.

do you recall seeing siliconed glass walls?
powerheads?
what about seeing corals from 2 completely different reef biotopes together?

I wish this thread was a joke...

The idea is pretty ridiculous. You've got to be more bored than he was to come in here and try and offer up his defense lol. I wouldn't call any of these opinions. It was posted for a chuckle but if you want to make the idea reality you've got my full support

Crazy idea alright and not really effective at the intended purpose of generating or supplementing high flow, but to label the chap an idiot is a bit harsh. It's the radical thinkers of this world that have brought us to where we are today, which actually may not be a good thing since we appear to be on a path of self destruction. In any case, the guy's a computer geek and obviously has some smarts. Although his idea may not suit the intended purpose, it could well spawn other ideas which could be usefully applied as solutions to other problems.

Check this out for another idea that may well have been formulated in the mind of a radical thinker, and it is real...

Very cool. That's creativity... a little different. I don't see any mention of them tipping the resort on a massive teeter-totter to slide occupants around rather than use elevators. I think that'd be comparing apples to apples =)

is kind of silly, but the idea of moving the tank around hmm.. that would be much easier......

as for sleeping fish if the rocks move as one thats no problem as they are inside the moving mass and it would be the same to them as an alternating current. actualy there are several natural habatats that would act the same way.

but way to expensive to be practical.

He was just brainstorming I think. Like he said there he is open to critics and as to why it would or wouldn't work.
Just like someone said here the best creations come from the most ubsurd ideas. One I could think of is the horseless carriage. Everyone thought ford was crazy to think that a carriage can run without a horse, yet we are all ride one everyday.
