I had this idea a few days ago and I just want to spark up conversation about it. What if you had a home on the coast that was at the waters edge but not on a beach, and your backyard was the portion that reached out to the water. Then what if you dig out an area of that backyard that made a 40’x40’ area where one side didn’t exist and instead connected to the ocean, creating an inlet, and sealed up the ground with concrete. Then built a barrier that allowed ocean water to flow in and out freely, but kept out marine wildlife.
I was just thinking this would be so cool because you could sculpt your own in ground backyard reef and then stock it how you want…AND…be able to swim in your reef! Wouldn’t have to worry about water changes because the ocean water is your source.
I know there’s more to the logistics but instead of going into it I’ll leave it there for now and hopefully this discussion can take off!!!
