Those works on electricity and coral growth are originally fromm Tom Goreau.
I have a friend who worked with Goreau and implemented the system for use in aquariums, but most importantly for his coral farm.
Once thing not mentionned: corals growing that fast that way are quite brittle, as the critaline structure of their skeletton does not have time to be strong enough. Once electricity is not used anymore, the skeletton acquires normal solidity rapidly.
Some pictures of a home setup:

Do not ask what the grids are made of, this is the biggest part of the initial research...
