How would you spend 10k for a 8'lx2'wx3'h Setup

Thanks for the feed back!, I'm going to take your comments and update the layout. I think I'll even do an elevation view for the mechanical room. I have a 9' ceiling in the basement so I was hoping to optimize square footage and take up more lateral space. I'm also planning to have access panels above the display tank so I can service the tank from both sides, however I realize the one corner will be tougher b/c of the furnace location... Perhaps I'll also add an access panel on the 24" end as well.....

BTW the sump I show is actually my house weeping tile sump. I was assuming using my old tank as a sump (4') and sticking half of it under ther the display tank (in the form of an "L")
