Ha! Come on now. We try to be patient with our own reefs but are insufferably impatient when following others. I am curious though what an upgrade to that three tank thing of beauty could possibly look like.
 
Kinda hard to tell on my tiny phone screen, is this 3 separate Chambers that are plumbed together?

Yes it is three serarate tanks all plumbed together. Sump is in garage, plumbing was all run through foundation when we built the house 17 years ago.

So... question... Maybe I just haven't been able to find it but have you done an in depth thread on the workings of this setup? I've followed since the build thread you started which turned into that drama for whatever reason and haven't been able to find a whole lot lol. Just me being me, I'm very curious and would love more information

There's unfortunately alot of drama and bs when people are jealous. Thankfully the mods around here are generally right on it.

But I will say there's alot more positive on this site than negative. Alot of people like myself are very curious as to how everything works with this setup. I think it's genius how you have the 3 tanks interconnected and working together.

There's always going to be naysayers when something looks as amazing as your setup and they have no clue as to how its possible. Just have to ignore it and let them look stupid to put it nicely lol
 
I am interested as well. I am jealous of this beauty, but there will be no drama from me. :-)
 
As promised......The upgrade is complete !!!!!!! Added 2 - 4 foot & 1 - 3 foot Aquatic Life T5 hybrid to the 14 foot reef.
There are 9 Kessil 360's and 12 T5 bulbs up now 3 Actinic, 3 Blue +, 3 Coral + and 3 Purple +.........
I deleted all the poles hanging from the ceiling and moved all ballast out of attic and below tank. Wire management tomorrow. 8 hours is enough for one day, expecially since its 100 degrees and I was in thee attic for 4 of those hours.
