No problem. I had this dream roughly in 2011 2012. Purchased house for it and started to renovate and add extensions . Project really took 5 years total to come to fruition.

I feel bad, how ever this tank was made and has filled your dream it will still have a dark side
 
That’s a lot of live rock. And sand. And fish. And room for coral. You would need tens of thousands of colonies to fill that puppy up!

The packages, you paid money for bags and they took a long time to arrive and then maybe the quality of the stuff you got was 0 so just a little sympathy of the aggravation you felt and also Star Wars is my favorite series so I watch it a lot

First, thanks for sharing this build with us. It’s truly remarkable. I have a couple of questions about the two pics posted in the last few days:

Do you actually use all-purpose salt and ad chemicals to get it to reef salt?

In the pic where you’re changing the RO filter...what are all of those smaller reactors (and by smaller, I mean huge). Are the just there in case you need a reactor for any reason? Also, is your skimmer off? I don’t see any foam in the neck.

Ok so we buy food grade nacl and mag sulfate separately. And esv supplies us with all the liquids. Same as if you bought esv salt. Skimmer is off do to prazi and cp. and those reactors were built for sulfur denitrate or gfo. Not using yet but thats next !!

Does this save money over buying pallets of Instant Ocean or do you just prefer to use ESV?
