I kept on with kalk after going zeo. I don't know if it was bad or not.

I think the only way to really find out if it's for you or not is to try it for about 6 months or so. It's the best way to find out if the extra work is balanced by the results. Having said that, I thought the extra work wasn't that much extra and the results were pretty impressive. The most impressive change I thought was how much the water got polished clear. It's like your lights get 20% brighter. Totally subjective, of course, but I first thought something was wrong with my lights because they seemed so much brighter all of a sudden.

To make a long story short:
65 Gal tank, Tek T5x6 bulbs light, Deltec skimmer, lots of flow with Tunze pumps.
Before ZEO.
Healthy tank 1.5 year old, no algae, very good colors and growth.
.
Got Zeo system going, followed instructions to the "T". I did have a small flow mishap (Increased the flow through zeo rocks) Lost 60% of SPS in 4 days.
After ZEO.
Tank full of hair algae and dead corals.

Present time.

Now, recovering slowly, fighting algae battle, SPS getting colors back growth rate never changed really.
Hope this can make some one to think twice before starting ZEO on established tank. May be new tank is OK but did not work for me.
