Schlanger's Red Sea Reefer 350 Build

[Schlanger]

Since I am a senior is College and finishing up with some extra cash I decided to make my "work in progress dream tank". I am looking to make this tank and build the cleanest ULM I can. Automation is pretty high up on the list and i intended to make this tank as close to automated as possible. I chose the reefer 350 simply because it was a great deal and will do. The filtration will be modular so if I change tanks the filtration can come with it. I will be posting ideas to this thread and keep things up to date with what is going on.

Yes, was looking to get a crystal reef triton replacement sump but they went out of business. Trying to decide if putting the largest possible Fuge is really needed. I saw a beautiful SPS tank that was using about a 5X5X12 refugio on a 80 gallon tank and was actually dosing nitrates to the water. I have seen this guys feeding method and its NOT light. Im going to be using a bubble king 160 skimmer. Might just end up using a trigger triton 26 since i have it already. heaters will be neotherms. Lighting is still up in the air, Looking to go T5/LED hybrid but can't decide on ATI sun power with 2 LED strips for the florescence, or aquatic life hybrid. Fuge light is a h160, Return is redundant with a main COR and a failsafe Jebao as well.
Hard plumbing and A manifold with a UV, Carbon/GFO, Secondary return.

Off subject, but can you measure the dimensions inside the cabinet where the sump sits? I ordered an rsr350 and want to custom a drip tray under the sump within the left side of the cabinet. I tried to reach to red sea and they never responded.
