looking for some advice from the pro's!

[eliramos]

Hey everyone so im looking at my possible = equipment for The near future and was just wondering if i could get some feedback maybe some positive or negative exp from you all or better recommendations all together
Here is a link to my build thread to give you a better idea of what i working with! ( https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/large-aquariums-180g/126097-time-dive.html )

tank specs are:

240 gallon
8ft long 2ft wide 2ft tall
two returns on both sides along with a 60 gallon sump

and two return pumps not sure the name they came with the plumbing lol

Ive never had a tank this large before so any input will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Lighting : ai hydras (looking at the 52's)

skimmer : reef octopus XP50001 rated for up to 500 gallons

calc reactors : GEO618 rated up to 300 gallons

ro/di : Spectrapure rodi 90gpd unit

flow : looking at tunze or wp 60's ( how many do you think i should run?)

Chiller : input??

Heater : input?

doser : bubble magus dosing pump

if im missing anything feel free to toss it in! this is going to be a slow build so im starting with as much research as possible and it always helps to have experienced reefers give you there .02!

Thanks for your time and help!

Couple of WP60s would be cool, maybe a WP40 for the center. I run 2 3200gph and one 800gph in the center of mine.
I run 2 300w heaters in my 45g sump, they do their job. I use 4 cpu cooling fans above my water surface for chillers, and my tank stays 78-79 all winter and summers. Jegos a good heater, but its really up to you. I run a 165gpd RO/DI, because I run 55g water changes, and I top off about 5g every 2 days in the winter.
Looks like you got the gear picked out well. Don't see anything else that would be pertinent right off the bat.
