Newbie saying hello

Hi Guys!

been on this forum for day now, god there is a lot for me to read through, trying to cramp all the info into my brain in such a short period aint easy!! but I found this hobby is gonna be a long shot for me

with little knowledge of going into this hobby, Im currently planning for a 28inch wide Cylinder tank (Lionfish mainly) & 72inch long U-shape room divider tank (Other fish). both will be reef tanks with sumps, and here are the planned image below.



I'd want to go all out at once instead of keep upgrading things later on, could someone help me out on a rough price? so far I'm waiting for a quote from Marine Aquaria for these two tanks, but I'd like to see what the folks on the forum could comment on this.

I understand the parts can be difficult to choose from, perhaps you guys could help me deciding on what brand of products I should install for these tanks?

Any inputs are welcomed! thank you again guys!
