Well do a 100% water change every day, tons of flow, lots of light, and don't forget food, and I'm sure you could achieve a similar result
What I love about these videos of mariculture sites is the time laps and seeing that it literally turns into a reef where fish start to populate the area where the corals are. I find it funny that what we do is usually the exact opposite, we put the fish in first then the corals grow in and get big, gotta wonder how that feels for the fish.
