It sounds fine for a KK depending on how many crickets are you keeping. I used to use KK until I got so many lizards it wasn't feasible. I go thru 2000 crickets a week so I needed something different. I'm very grateful for my local reptile store that orders them for me and I can just pick them up with no shipping cost-I get them for .02 ea
I have a 10gal tank (mesh top) that I use now. It's actually a lot easier than a KK for me. I have the tubes from the KK that I angle in the tank (6 of them). I stagger/stack as much egg carton pieces in the center as I can fit to give them a layered area. I use the packaged cricket food/water source but would use potatoes if I had to pick something fresh.
You'll laugh but the best calcium coater for crickets to me I discovered by accident. I had an extra rubbermaid spaghetti storage tube that I just happened to see in a new way one day. It's perfect for calcium coating! Now if I can just keep my smaller lizards from jumping into the tube when I try to toss the crickets in we'll be doing good..heh
