Thank you for your concise analysis.
I wholly expected a certain kind of a reaction, especially from a certain kind of board member
I agree, its somewhat counter intuitive to how this hobby is often portrayed and I would have never had the confidence to do a set up like this when I first started in the hobby in 2003.
All the more reason I want to share the experience with other reefers.
I'm pretty happy with how this tank has gone.
It's been exactly what the years I have spent learning about this hobby and all the methodology that it entails has led me to expect.
Even so, I was still pleasantly surprised when it seems to have worked so well in practice.
The combination of the DSB, a large amount of well established LR, the proper flow and selectively chosen inhabitants has been a success for my intentions.
I had thought that for sure, after 6 months, there would be a higher ammonia and/or nitrate reading but several tests before i did my first wc proved that wrong.
The water even still smelled fresh and looked clear.
