Does music promote growth?

[Rosh]

Usually when I'm home I turn the music on really loud with a lot of bass.

I'm just wondering if all those vibrations promote growth or anything.
Because I notice the polyps don't seem to react as much with all the sounds going on. I mean they don't retract when I tap the glass, they used to before. Have they become completely immune to the vibrations? Maybe it's their way of receiving a head to toe massage.

On a side note, it's fun to watch the fish dance around while you play your favorite tracks.

In reality, there are probably tons of earthquakes and typhoons that occur.

I asked this question a long while back, the simple answer I got was No. lol

I've heard that music can increase growth rates of terrestrial plants. How do we know that it doesn't affect coral growth?

 

[Logzor]

No, but I'm pretty sure particular music will encourage spawning.

 

[Rosh]

Why is that though? Is it because of the vibrations?

I know it does affect plants, but corals are constituted as plants too right?

No, but I'm pretty sure particular music will encourage spawning.

lol lala lets getttt it oonnnnn

Funny, my corals don't respond well to hardcore/underground hip hop. I guess I should just leave Kenny G. on instead.

My corals love hip hop, house music, and funky breaks... at least they better, because that's what they've been listening to.

Not sure what music does or which music is better.
If it's Country? That music would not work out for increasing coral growth in my fish basement. I'd probably end up taking out my tank with one of the hammers I'd throw across the room trying to kill the cd-player.

i blast music all the time, i think my fish likes it... or maybe he is trying to jump out of the tank lol... i dont think it will effect corals though.

Sometimes I scream at my frags. "GROW #$% GROW!!!" Maybe I should start singing it.

Lol me too, it makes the colors pop

 

[Rosh]

Hahaha, grow damnit! Now show me those colours!

Music does encourage coral growth. When I listen to music, I feel better about doing water changes and as we know, water change = better tank, which also means better growth.

I think cows produce more milk with music not corals looooooooool

It wont make a difference If nothing else i think it may annoy the coral if the bass is really bad.
