This looks like a really well thought out plan! Which equipment will you be running?

[Slykat]

Thanks, I've been reading and collecting info for the past year on this build.
What I have so far is:

Lighting - T5's Ati
Heaters - 2 Finnex 300w
Return pumps - Waveline Dc pumps
Controller - Apex - Lab grade
More to go.

Will be working on setting up sump and water storage.

Nice choice on the lighting, that's what I have.

Yes T5's give off some of the best colouration, and the fixture is excellent quality.

Built the sump stand 18" high, plus sump should give me a good working height. There is room for storage underneath. Sump is 54"X20"X18" with 4 compartments. Drain/sock section, skimmer section, return section and refugium with blacked out glass.
