If you were about to start a brand new large fish tank system, what process would you recommend to create pristine water from the start - having a solid quarantine process being a given

Starting with a top-notch filtration system and stable flow is key for pristine water in a big tank like this. Also make sure your alk, calc, and mag levels are dialed in early to keep everything balanced from day one!

That Waterbox looks awesome and roomy! For pristine water from the start I always recommend running the tank with a sand bed and some live rock for a few weeks before adding anything. Cycling with a good flow setup and keeping an eye on alk and nitrate levels really sets the stage for success!
