Update:
Working out some final details. I have decided to also have a 40 gallon (30"x24"x12") Frag tank that will go next to the display. I will use it for growing out some sps.

Would the 1 mic sediment not make the 5mic carbon redundant?

Following...... but curious why a custom-furniture-grade style stand, modified for further noise-reduction, and designed with "hidden" doors (kinda like the fridge built into the cabinets etc) wasn't an option?


EDIT:.... Did I just read that the sump is 10' long?!?!? whoa....

Here is a list of current things I have and things I still need. Things in RED I am planning on selling because I don't think I need them. Please let me know if the tank will be OK without these pieces of equipment, and what else I will need (If I forgot something)
Tank is full sps 300 gallon tank.

PM me if you're selling the WXM and VDM!

carbon is for chlorine

Yes. It was an option. I also wanted the flexibility of an AC pump outside and also the ability to add future larger equipment.

This is in my BRS cart right now, It will be everything else (Besides the tank and plumbing) that I need. And maybe some extras

Whew lol, nice haul. What made you decide to go with that skimmer? Just curious.

Price, I've had good experiences with skimz, and the warranty. It also fits into my oddly sized sump

Nicee. Hope it works wonders for you! You should be getting the par meter tomorrow by the way! I sent you a pm, not sure if you got it.

I did!
I am sticking around tomorrow.
I will post readings from my fixture Sunday or Monday

Just got the par meter from @Hemmdog
It is great!
Measuring about 850 par with the lights 8” off the water, 6” under the water.
I will do a full update tomorrow.

Glad to hear it! That’s some serious light!!! Wow! My highest measurement was 280! Lol

2 new updates.
Going with an ASM G5 skimmer. They look like they will work well!
I will be building a sulfur reactor to help combat nitrates in the new tank and testing it on my current tank. I have about 30 nitrates so it will be a good test.
