well here is a good aticle on calcification if you want to learn.. most people probably wouldent be interested in this level but I found it interesting.
http://advancedaquarist.com/issues/apr2002/chem.htm
for thoes of you who don't want to read it and just want the skinny here it is
"as the calcium level is increased in an artificial seawater medium from 0 to 800 ppm, the calcium uptake by the coelenteron increases in a linear fashion.4 The uptake by most of the tissues other than the calicoblastic epithelium also increases in a linear fashion. There is no data specific to the calicoblastic epithelium, but the data show that calcification does not increase above 360 ppm calcium."
anyways if you are into it, read the article, it is interesting.
