Just now seeing this. I like the idea of combining the tank with a bar. Will be great to entertain around that. Following along...

Been busy got the new di filter in Wednesday haven't installed it yet to check tds, but will prob do that in a little while. Finally have all my door frames done and hung. Still have some moulding to put up, but the bar is almost complete.

Wow great build and what an awesome place to put it. Ive used Instant Ocean Reef Crystals for years with success. IMO, good parameters and consistency from box to box. Good price to quality ratio too. Ive tried others and went back to Reef Crystals eventually
