Haha. Just realized you're the720 gallon guy. I have a pic with your tank when it was at Pedro's. That's going to be a sweet set up! Can't wait to see it.

Yessir counting down the minutes. Good thing is I can't think of what I'm missing. Calcium reactor, kalk Nilsen reactor, Nyos skimmer, Algae scrubber, bio blocks, miracle mud, UV sterilizer, denitrator, etc lol I know there must be something missing lol.

I wish stuck until last week of September maybe even October. Electrician comes Saturday to work and furniture will take 2-3 weeks to be completed. Plus the person helping me set everything up is tied up as well. Bummer but it will give me time to have everything arrive

Another addition you might consider (maybe you already have) is the MarinePure blocks. In my short experience these do a terrific job of reducing nitrates. Some have reported they do TOO good a job. Anyway, it would be an easy and natural way to remove nitrates and you could potentially return your denitrator. Just a thought!

the aluminum leaking is only during the initial phrase. According to Randy (who was one of the first to notice this issue), as long as your block has been in the system for awhile, it shouldn't leak anymore. I'll see if I can dig up his original quote..
I've been using the blocks for a few years without issue. People say it affected their mushrooms and LPS. I didn't want to risk my corals so I switched to Siporax. Made out of glass. if you can find the 25mm (ebay), they work just as well. I just bought 100ml for myself

It's like the biopellets. Initially they are great for the system. But once it becomes mature. No longer needed.

Who needs snails when you have a robot?
I'll look into the siporax although if the aluminum leakage goes away with time then it's a good thing I have to still cycle the tank. I'm planning on buying things slowly as far as livestock. Get the less aggressive animals in first and inverts. Moorish idols butterflies. Figure ill let them establish themselves before adding tangs and more aggressive fish. This will give time for any issues the bio blocks may presemt
