Beautiful setup man.
I think 9 Radions IS a bit of overkill if you were to run them all at the same brightness, but the beauty is you can configure them however you want so that you can alternate your spectrum on each.
Can't wait to see it all completed.

Many thanks!, as wife don't like the tanks in house i made this extra house
"house" is more or less complete and tank isn't so faar, as it was last year at this time then we started the foundation , the worst thing is aquascape this is something i don't like most likely because i am poor at it

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. But you could also have 5 on full spectrum and then the other 4 to just the blue spectrum, or something along those lines. Having this many will definitely give you some cool sunrise/sunset effects if you decide to enable that function.

I am terrible at scaping as well. I keep sketching out options for my new build to hopefully end up with a better scape this time. It hasn't worked yet.
Love what you have going on with this build. As the others have said, it looks very well thought out and it looks so nice and clean. Your skimmer stand looks awesome! So sturdy.

Many thanks my friend!, The stand was the first time i worked in acrylic and it was so easy just used aceton to weld it and polish edges with a torch
so will play little more with it, acrylic is crazy expensive here i would love to have a acrylic tank don't have to be so afraid for scratches

The polishing looks sweet.
I can't imagine what crazy expensive would translate to! It already isn't cheap here. For the simple sake of moving the thing I'd much rather my 300 be an acrylic tank, too.

Gyre 280 arrived have not used em in the past so this will be fun but really want to get the adapter to control em in apex as the controller dosent look to user friendly
I got to much rocks caribsea i have 200kg and 50kg real reef so i guess i have to start one more tank
never used real reef so its also something new, then open boxes
they feel very dry so not so big hopes its live rock
placed em in a brute with nsw
Will run triton but ordered from States a genesis renew system so it will be very easy to do water changes and anyone can do it here.
waiting from England 2 water tanks for mixing station
as they are impossible to source in sweden shipping was 260 pounds crazy price but hopefully they look good
any advise on a great set up for mixing station i am not sure if i stack em high or place em side by side any advise is welcomed

Wow that is going to be incredible. Great looking build. How deep do you plan to have your sand on the panels?

Rock in tank used Caribsea liferock and 1 1/2 box of real reef rock and this weekend mixed so far 2000liters water and now let the osmos system have a break and start tomorrow again 
Had some askt about the floor heating, its water heated this how it look liked early this year then we placed it before concrete was dumped over it
