Updated coral farm progress.

Hey Rich, me again.....couple other questions about your grow out tanks.....what do you use to maintain calcium? do you have a reactor plumbed in to all of the tanks or do you dose manually depending on the types of corals in the tanks? also what is your circulation like in the grow out tanks? any wavemakers/sea swirls, etc? it would be interesting to set up two tanks withexactly the same conditions except usign regular ph's in one and wavemakers of soem sort in the other...it would be interesting to see what growth patterns the corals that are basically clones would take on in the two tanks...it would be very easy to manipulate all the variable, but would be kinda costly!
good luck
jon

The 125 is drilled for a closed loop with 4 returns, and has 2 seaswirls as it's returns from the sump. The 90 has normal returns from the sump and a Maxi-Jet 1200 in it. I have a DIY dual chamber calcium reactor setup on the system that goes to all tanks.
The experiment would be great to do, but space prohibits me from doing it.
