Wow!
Sounds like it's been rough. I hope everything works out and sorry to hear about the losses. Sounds like you have some other hobbiest close by which is nice though. I don't know anyone that is into saltwater where I live.
Hang in there. I had a leak show up after I filled the tank up, I put in a new GFI plug behind my sump after the tank was running and I've had several fish/shrimp take a flying leap of doom as well. I've also got an urchin who likes to randomly knock my corals off their rocks in the middle of the night. I guess if it didn't come with any problems it would be called freshwater
