  That's a very interesting concept.
  
  I'm assuming here that it's meant for human habitation; in my brief look-over of the .pdf file, I didn't see anyplace where that was mentioned. But I have to say, either way, I like it.
  
  I take it you're thinking of this as an alternative to getting an aircraft carrier at auction?

  I like it. Especially the 'bird dumper'! i dont see anything about how you plan to anchor it, or if you plan to anchor it.

  anchorage = sheet anchors perhaps or a tropical seamount somewhere with a proper fixed anchorage. The only problem with anchorage systems is it adds some complications if you want to ride up and down, (you have to find a way to tighten/slacken/climb/decend the anchor chain/cable) this also adds a place for corrosion problems - all the above is basically all plastic -bar the solar arrays and the 'guts' of the CNC/Pump systems
  
  human habitation = yeah sort of, no living space on these for humies, but thats not to say a aquafarmer couldnt live in a domicile connected to these colonies, maintaining and tending to the reef critters who take up residence on the FRC's
  
  aircraft carrier = perfect tender/manufacturing/maintenance facility for FRC's
  
  (I always think big and in an interconnected fashion. :) )

  if u were to enlarge the solar panels, u might be able to generate enought juice to run some thruster jets, enough for station keeping purposes.

  I'm wondering might that come new craze for rich people.
  (get one to swimming pool so that you can dive to coral reef without long flying trip)
  
  And that's just artificial coral reef.
  Those solar panels are for producing power to system which keeps it in right depth.
