“…Most RS currently employed to stock corals ex situ , including the one discussed in this study, are still set according to the principles and practices described by the works of these two authors. It is important to note that researchers continued to optimize RS to stock corals in captivity, namely biological filtration processes, such as nitrification (Seo et al ; Toonen and Wee ; Yuen et al ) and denitrification (Grommen et al ; Singer et al ; Kropp et al ), computerized systems to assist on the monitoring of water parameters (Widmer et al ), prevention of coral diseases (Sheridan et al ), and application of technology developed for aquaculture (Fontaine et al ).…”

The increasing interest in coral culture for reef restoration, biotechnological applications, and to supply the marine aquarium trade has prompted researchers to optimize coral culture protocols, with emphasis on ex situ production. However, the diversity of experimental systems employed to investigate ex situ coral production may be a bottleneck to the advance of the state of the art, as it impairs reliable comparisons between experiments, as well as the replication and optimization of culture protocols. This study presents a versatile modular culture system for experimental coral production ex situ, assembled using materials and equipments available from suppliers all over the world and thus allowing researchers worldwide to truly replicate experimental setups. The validation of the modular culture system was performed using the soft coral, Sarcophyton cf. glaucum, as a model organism. The validation experiment tested the effect of different light spectra on the photosynthetic performance, symbiont density, chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments concentration, survival, and growth of coral fragments. The validation experiment confirmed the potential of this modular culture system, which ultimately enables researchers to perform direct comparisons among experiments, and more efficiently contribute to advance ex situ coral aquaculture.

“…When the photocatalyst is in contact with water, the e − − h + pairs will initiate a series of reactions and produce hydroxyl radicals, H O • and superoxide radical anions, O • + , on the photocatalyst surface. Any organic contaminants at or near to the photocatalyst surface are oxidized by the generated radicals [114,115]. The most commonly used photocatalysts are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which are semiconductors.…”
