Help with new 190 gal build

Thank you, Charles. I guess if I keep the heater around 79 deg and a powerhead in the tupperware the critters should all be ok for the day? I definitely would like to get set up for automatic controllers, but unfortunately had already ordered the Fluval SP4 before reading the posts.
I have a lot more studying to do to learn about the APEX system and whatever others are currently out there but I figure for now if I have the ATI it should come with a controller, and I already have 2 controllers for the Kessils...Honestly not sure really where to start with the whole "control" idea, but if you could point me in the right direction, I can start researching more...

And Mark, WOW!! I just read thru your tank build and it was VERY helpful! (And gorgeous) Thank you so much for sharing!!
I do have a few questions:
I noticed you had your returns come up and over the overflow but I was planning on having the overflow as a coast to coast and the returns situated on the outside edges. And a Maxspect Gyre maybe 280 on the inside.
I was hoping that would be enough total flow for the whole tank?
And concerning your SPS loss, did you ever figure it out? I had a similar issue that was due primarily to low Alk and now things are much better.

Well it turns out I'm not getting the Fluval SP4 after all.
The purchase didn't go thru. Maybe that's more than a coincidence, lol)
Anyhow, back searching for a controllable pump now. In particular the Reef octopus vario 6, but not 100% yet. None available I could find currently...
I do like the idea of controllable, yet quiet. Thx for the tips😊

Would a Waveline DC 6000 be large enough, though? I was thinking the 10000 model.
