Has anyone tried making rocks like this?

I stumbled upon this... Using low DC power to make Calcium carbonate

I'm thinking I might do this in my next build when I get my new house. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience with this?

Awesome idea, would like to try it ,but my tank is to small:(

"Later experiments showed that the coatings can thicken at the rate of 5 cm per year"

I would get started now if I was you lol.

I was thinking of using a a little higher volt and adding a lot of lime water to boost the Calcium carbonate levels... Do you think it would speeds it up?

No idea, but I would imagine that if there was a %100 proven way to speed it up they would have done so, so that the reefs could have been built faster. Would love to here what others think
