In an effort to answer this exact question and to prove that what we provide does indeed work Reef Crew
http://www.ReefCrew.com and Canadian reef
http://www.CanadianReef.com have set up 2 identical tanks and have placed the same corals in the same place in each tank.
We have tried to have the most control over the conditions as possible in order to have the best results in the end. Canadian reef is in the process of getting the documentaion online so people can follow things as time progress.
You may want to check with site for updates but I will do my best to add to this post to let everyone know that the information is online.
There will be the process documentation as well as regular photographs so you can follow the growth rates of things.
Although I know this post was asking more twards the SPS side of things this partnership will be looking at various Zoanthids and GSP and clove polyps.
Hope this will help answer some of the questions that are out there.
