Sjujono,
I would strongly recommend against using rubber tires for artificial reef
construction.
>From a purely technical standpoint, tire reefs have proven to be very
unstable, moving around in storms. Keeping them all attached to each other
is also very difficult. The actual placement of the tires is also very
difficult.
I will leave it to the rest of coral-list to explain the biological reasons
against using rubber tires for reef creation.
