Tank Parameters Of Some Masters

Excellent article that shows there are different ways to run a successful reef, with some key insights on water parameters, lighting and flow.

Article outlines various setups and how versatile the hobby really is as long as stability is maintained.

Great article by the esteemed Michael Paletta. I've been reefkeeping -- on and off -- since I was a teen around the turn of the century. Many of the tanks profiled are run by names I've idolized since then. The comparison and analysis of tanks cultivated by such esteemed reefkeepers makes it clear that -- while there is no singular recipe for success -- there exists a common range where one can find success given certain known (and unknown) parameters.

I'd love to know more about whether these people follow certain "systems" (zeovit, balling, 2 part, etc) in order to better guide new hobbyists in their journies.

Love this! I've been looking for more and more info on systems that have successfully kept SPS for many years looking for consistencies and patterns. With the detail and insight of this post we can see some guidelines that are all but guaranteed for success. Thank you!

Really great information here, so interesting to see a solid level of consistency among those doing this hobby well.
