Long ago before when reef tanks, LR and trickle filtration were new to North America, dead corals were a must for a marine tank, or so we were told. Without the dead coral the pH would drop etc etc. Every year the hobbyist would swap out his dead corals, bleach them with chlorine and sunshine and put them back in his tank pristine white and biological filtration was handled but undergravel filters. :)

He is probably right in that you cannot buy coral skeletons easily anymore.

The sad part is that there probably is a sucker or two out there with a fresh water tank that thinks this is the route to take when they go SW.

Hate to see someone get taken by this person.

This is funny as Red Coral just turned down a maintenance job from a prominent Calgary clothing chain that was setting up a salt water looking tank with dead corals and cichlid fish. They thought no one would know the difference. LOL
They would be suckers for that purchase.
