I don't know if there is a market fixture that can span that depth of 24" so I guess that it'll be all retro fit. Instead of building a canopy I may, in this point in time, just build a suspended frame/armature and curtain it off (I have 16 foot ceilings). I'll post pictures as the project developes and post in the "Tank Journal".

I've just now been already offered some DIY and retro fit lightning options. Exciting!

For sump, I can probablty find a used FW tank and install baffles myself or work out something with SeaHorse Fanatic.

I can't believe that within 9 months of setting up an 80g reef I'm diving (pun intended) into a 225g.

NEWBIES BEWARE!!!LOL

Oh ok, so its not a standard 65G. 4' is good then.

I also have high ceilings and it was a pain hanging my fixture and then in the end I didn't trust it hanging or like the look. It will be interesting to see how you do yours!

Oh, it will be interesting for sure!
This building is all concrete; drop-in anchors work very well in concrete ceilings but I don't trust the ladder working that high. It'll be different. Brain gears already turning/churning.
I'll post photos.
Cheers
