I got a glass (acrylic scratches get on my nerves bad) Lee-Mar 67 gallon (48x18x18) with center overflow, trigger systems sump with miracle mud, reeflo super dart gold moving the water. Originally I had picked out a in-180 vertex skimmer but it didn't come close to fitting so now it is a in-100. About 55 lbs of brs eco rock. Lighting is a 51 DIY rb/cw led setup, along with a 8 led fixture for the fuge. Everything is controlled through an Apex.
There is livestock in there now I used live sand and dr tim's to cycle but photo's with my phone doesn't look well under leds

Here's Some pics so far, I've already shared with my local club, hope you guys enjoy them!

Nice start. Very clean look. I'm assuming you want to automate the kalk dosing and not get rid of it in favor of something else. As far as kalk dosing, I like using a kalk stirrer and my auto top off. Fresh water is just pumped into the reactor and it displaces limewater into the sump accomplishing two tasks at once. This is a good place to start about a kalk reactor with an ATO.

I planned on going the TLF reactor route, I just need to figure out how to top off in limited space.

With over a gallon a day evaporation would ato with kalk reactor deplete all the kalk in just a day or two?
