1 - 2 miles is too close for my liking. When you get to clean water, you'll know. Even the "gin" clean water isn't something I'd feel safe putting...
You're going to need the RO/DI system. If you only top off with sea water your salinity will creep up. The only thing you're saving is the salt, if...
At least now I don't feel so bad "rinsing the basement rug" when I forget to turn off the RO/DI. The buckets wouldn't be bad up to 10G but beyond...
I only make 5G batches. Fill the bucket, add salt, heater, and powerhead (to mix), then check the salinity the next day. Lugging the 40 pounds...
For strength I like to see something across the back for rigidity (like you did on the side) but you don't really have that much weight and the frame...
Hard to argue with the Honda recommendation. The Yamaha's are also good and a little cheaper but not as much is out there about them. Stay away...
It's going to take some time, nothing good happens quickly.
Are they starving off?

I used to get grass shrimp off the dock to feed to the filefish which was caught off the dock. That was after a hurricane 3 years ago, which brought...
My Clarkii would go after anything near her, even the cleaner shrimp.
Mine always cleaned (hands, fish, rocks,...)
Nice one...

... also if your heart is still racing or has a "different" beat seek medical attention.
Don't think the GFCI will always save you. It senses current going to ground instead of the neutral and if you're getting shocked through the hot...
I'm still waiting too, it takes a while when you're a noob.
I hear ya. I lost all but 1 fish, half the coral, & all the shrimp. Luckily I was able to get a generator after 2 days, it was getting cold in the...
My dog came from a shelter and we were very lucky. Friends got one a few years later and weren't so lucky. The bad part is you never know what was...
I'm starting to get a cluster of new algae, it seems rare that you get beneficial algae for free. I checked out the ones listed on reefcleaners and...
