Chuck - maybe it would help if you told Michael that you're a retired LFS owner and thus know a thing or too about the hobby. I think part of his skepticism is that you don't keep an aquarium the way other hobbyists do. You don't have to mix your own water and you get absolutely everything straight off the reef (sand, rock, water, etc.). I mean, it's almost as if you have a mariculture system. Don't get me wrong, I think that's awesome... but you can't exactly compare your system to those of other hobbyists.
