Old hand, but its been 5 plus years...starting new

I have a 210 gallon tank ordered (New York to Southern Arizona): 72x24x29, and have ordered 4 kessill 360we's. Im not sure what the settings will be, or even where to start. This is a ground up build, and while I'm not a beginner, it has been a while; this technology was not available back then. I have also ordered the spectral controller...cause why the hell not. All of that said, I have not decided what exactly will be in the tank...was hoping it would just happen, which is probably a bad plan. No substrate ordered yet, but I love the look of white sand, and have been considering my options. A buddy of mine, with more experience has suggested that the sanding substrate can lead to cloudy tanks...depending on the chosen occupants...so i'm still considering options. The tank is in the living room, and all of the hoses will be ran through a wall leading to my office...limiting all the filtration, and heating crap. If you have any ideas, I can be reached here or
