I'm thinking those Koi look real happy in there you may just have to let this be a KOI pond and forget about adding salt

I guess I don’t have to tell you, but you’re holding tank looks better than most people‘s main tank. LOL. 
Thanks! The 500 bin has tons of cool stuff in it as well…should be a good start for the big tank!

I am thinking I will get one or two Foxface I'm thinking One spot and Majestic but still on the fence about the Bluelined Rabbitfish.
Are Majestic? Or Magnificent? Or just Great?

I think your taking "having a fish room" too literally!
That’s what I read yep Koi Holding Pond
1700 gallon… koi holding pond I think that’s what it says on the box!! Time to move the koi out and the salt water in!!

Wow, awesome variety of fish.. that's is a really nice chunk of change swimming around that tank these days
My dad just text me some pics of my old 750 gallon tank I set up over 14 years ago!! Holy smokes I could use all those fish and corals for the big tank!! Loved that tank!!

random question but have you thought of getting any of the monster Acanthurus like this big boi (Acanthurus xanthopterus) or do you have the big fish spots all filled lol
That's one of my favorite fish and i can barely find anyone with one let alone a tank that could house it
