No secrets really... just a heck of alot of DIY, active ca and kalk reactors, a large bulk water capacity(lots of varied fuge type/space), a huge skimmer running 24/7, reg waterchanges, over 800 watts of light over the display tank(a standard 55), and absolutely NO chemical "fixer uppers"... all natural as much as I can muster. Other than that, a whole lot of reading, research, trial and error, and great chit-chat with all of you awesome reefers!!! BTW, reguardless of new to the hobby or aged in nicely, keep an open mind... you will always learn new things from just about ANYBODY that's in this hobby(or in my case, obsession)... there really is no-one with all of the answers.

Happy reefing, Repto
