Beautiful. You should do a video on your Kalk setup. Even though it’s Meckly’s method it would be great to see yours in more detail!

My 150g was not evaporating enough for my Kalkwasser to keep up with demand, I started adding vinegar to the kalk mix and bing bang BOOM... I'm on PAR 🙂
Ur corals are amazing! I'm still too scared to put too much $$$ of coral into mine.

Really like these sorts of video Keith, even though I listen to the majority of your podcasts it's great to get little refreshers on your keys to success like this!

[franklinwest]

I agree with several of the other comments. I really enjoyed this video and loved hearing your 4 keys to success. Keep them coming!

Awesome and inspiring tank. My next tank is definitely going to be like that. Even thinking if cloning it…

Hello Sir, how long do you run your lights a day? 8-10-12 hours? Would love to see the MH mimic spectrum

[tomg]

Thanks for sharing.Can you try some zeovit products just to see if they work to give you even better colours?

[certainreef]

You mention a spreadsheet for ICP results. Is this publically available?

[DanGrubb]

What par levels are you receiving at the very bottom of your tank for theirs SPS

[ryanbare]
