The start of my 300Gal starfire SPS tank

Never done a tank build thread so here is my go at it.
Thanks to John and Brian at KingFish Aquariums in Austin for all of their help and time in planning and furture building of this system.

Tank:
Tank will be here in 2 1/2 weeks its going to be 96" x 30" x 25" tall, front is 3/4" low iron glass and the back and side panels are 3/4" standard glass. Made by Aquarium Environments
The bottom plate is type sch. 80 pvc with 5 holes counter sunk for my close loop.

CAD drawing:


Flow:

Closed loop:
oceans motions 4-way plumbed with a Sequence Barracuda

and using 4- 1.5" Omni Flex Nozzles


Tunze Streams:
I don't know how many of these I'm going to use but I currently have:
1-6200, 5-6100's,1-6080 and a 6060 as well as a multi-controller.
I will have to see where to place these as the tank gets plumbed up.

Return pump:
Sequence Dart

Sump
I designed the sump to run 4 - 7" filter socks and made it large enough to fit under the Iron stand that Aquarium Environment's is making me.

My CAD drawings:




Dan at Dan Aquatic's in San Antonio made my sump to my CAD drawings.






Room
The tank is going in between the windows and I will make a fake wall which will give me a small fish room behind the tank to work with.


I will keep updating the post with new pictures and progress and thanks for looking!
