Have been on Nano Reef for a while now, since I have been living here in DFW area, should join up here and get to know my fellow reefers. 
 
Welcome! Awesome tank, looks beautiful!We have a frag swap in 2 weeks. You should come out if nothing else to look and meet some of the members.Will be watching the progression! 
 
Looks great. Welcome to the club.Gloss stand is what I love. I have tried to get my stand to look glossy but it looks like matte. Maybe next tank build take it to a car shop to get it sprayed.
 
Thanks. Hopefully it will blossom into an awesome tank. I am looking into a way to keep pH up which has been one of the more difficult things. Resigned to getting a kalwasser reactor to drip into the tank. 
 
I thought about that. Worried about calcium carbonate deposition. Looking into a reverse lighting fuge. Making a kalkwasser drip using IV tubing and 2 l soda bottle. 
 
Yeah that is why I use the Avast marine Kalk reactor, putting it in ATO container just too messy. I also have a reverse lighting fuge, everything works well together for me.
