I would not say that this cant be done, or that results could not be collected and compiled, but i dont think they could be used as a projection of what should be expected!
In my SPS experience it was totally tank dependent. My friend who was as anal as I am gave me frags and they would explode in my tank under nearly identical water parameters and overall flow parameters. However I would have 2 frags, one placed in a 30g cube, and one in my 100g main and they would grow at different rates even though they shared the same water and overall flow... but the microclimate of each was obviously different. Our main systems were nearly identical but still we would see drastic growth rate differences.
I think there are either too many variables or that there is such a non linear dependence on so many things that its just not realistic to be able to do something like this.
