Well, I finally bash through a 7 Z level aquifer, and just as I had thought I had reached safe, solid ground, I end up breaching caverns! Dealing with aquifers is one thing, but I don't like to linger in the caverns if I can at all avoid them. I am not sure if I can afford to spend another year trying to breach a different aquifer section either.

Advice on what I can do with this? Sealing the caverns for now is a given. No way I am going in without any military

kitten spelunkers and copious amounts of MAGMA!

You're over thinking the problem. You have an aquifer. You have caverns. Pour aquifer into caverns. Problems solved. Carve some fortifications into the walls and fill the caverns. That'll keep out the beasties and drown anything else that might be annoying. Like Nobles.

HEY! Noble bedrooms, suspended in the Caverns.

With trapdoor floors.

Actually f.b. can swim, but seriously--if you can handle a 7-z level aquifer, c'mon, take on the caverns! I usually don't even seal mine and my forts last 20-30 years.  F.Bs are only worrysome when hefting deadly dust or poison, and marksdwarves can get those long before they come close.

Or wall up the passages so you have your own little bubble of dwarven safety.
