At 6000 gal and a 10% water change you would have to put 4 pails of salt per week. If your using zeo or ultra pretty much 1/2 a case per day. Lighting 3 x 400 watt x 12 sections or 16 T5 x 12 sections. You also have to circ it 8 x the volume = 48000gal/hr. Just think if you pulsed a wave from one end to the other the size of wave you can generate. Oh you probably have to reinforce the basement floor with rebar. Thnik of all the canreefers you have to call to haul it into the basement.
