I don't know if this will be a factor or not, but can the tile stand the weight without cracking? I'd think epoxy would be your best bet. plus cleaning grout is not my idea of a good time.

I know some people don't like ASM Skimmers, but i got a big one that does a great job. I went to a few stores and saw what they used on their big systems.I am confidant that this will be great in the new system.

well i tell ya the insurance company want a to of $$$ and so do the roofers., of course they will pick out a ton of crap to report to the insurance company, but whatever!! as long ads its fixed. My wife and I hit the idea around of just paying out of pocket, but i think this bad boy is going to cost about 6 or 7k. so no thanks, thats what i have insurance for. The last storms we had were brutal to the roof and I think that the last ice storm did it in....

Why not just use some rock from the old one to seed the new one. Pour in a bunch of ammonia and cycle it through. that way you seed the new rock with old. here's a calculator to use for calculating how much ammonia. if you eyeball it it's ~10-15ml/100gal to get you to 4ppm Ammonia. This way you can kill 2 birds with one stone. get some of rock out of your current DT, speed up the cycle, & speed up the breakdown. thus making wife happy?

Nope I say cycle it with a couple pieces but leave your 500. So 3m of cycle and then you have to wait on me to get mine running so I can take your equipment so that's like 6 more months there. Lol how's glasscages doing with the what 3rd tank now?
