@Sausage_Mahoney,  
You may find [this other current thread](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/preparing-silva132-for-qiime1-2-use/2237/3) interesting. That user is following a similar process to yours, but for getting the brand-new SILVA release into a QIIME format following the notes of Tony Walters, not generating a new reference database. In any case, a thread to keep an eye on regarding steps to build a new database and import it into QIIME2.
