If this were me doing this I would go with either 2 250s over each section (6 total) in Lumenarcs or i would go with 1 400 over each section (3 total) in lumenarcs hung a little higher and then supplement with t5 or VHO.

Wow! Tis a beast and a dream of mine. This puts you on par with Steve Weast. Makes a 180 look like a puddle. Can't wait to see the finished product, especially with sps. Congrats, I envy you!

How many gallons approx it it?, my deam home tank will be roughly 1500, yes I will be saving for a long time. I have a trust fund for me for college, If I can save that and use scholarships etc that will give me a good head start.

*sigh*, sorry I did not read the first post, wow total volume 760 gallons! very impressive, Imo you should do the rockwork much like steve weast did,without the sloping from the sides, for like a natural reef, that scales up fast, then flattens out, on top, with bumps, and then another rise at the back
JMO GL keep us posted

It's been a while, and I am still waiting for the tank. We had a problem with the Euro-Reef skimmer and it had to be returned. Here is a few pictures of the new H&S skimmer I replaced the Euro-Reef with. The sump needed to be modified to accomendate the new skimmer.

The new calcium reactor arrived and was amazed at the size. That's a five gallon bucket sitting next to the reactor. Now trying to figure out how to get it dialed in :notsure:
