yes You can
but I would mix saltwater in a separate vessel
new SW should be ideal….temp, salinity, pH

With the right toys, any glass box can be a marine tank. You just need proper lights, filtration, and flow to make it.
Like said, saltwater should be made outside the tank to get it to mix right.

How would you carry out a water change on a tank with such a big volume?
With a reef tank, you generally aren’t doing large water changes - I really only do 3-6 gallons each time I do my 40B. Between corals, algae, and a slimmer if you have one, most nutrients/pollutants are used up.
A fowlr with messy predators may be a different story though.
Most with large tanks will usually have a large amount of premixed saltwater for water changes.

If I were to setup a tank of that size shown above I would probably make it a fowlr.
