Funny you should ask about stocking: My daughter just wants "Nemos", Son wants a Blacktip Reef Shark or Great White (he's ok either way), Son #2 wants sting rays and Wife wants a giant puffer or grouper. I like the idea of having schools of fish, some SPS (some, funny word...some = tons haha). The design of the filtration is around the later. I'm working through the design of a split filtration system: sump (berlin with large skimmer) and low flow 80 gallon refugium w/LEDs. There will also be a 4000+ gph closed loop for circulation because the tank is 12' and only has one overflow against the wall.

I just ordered the Hydor Performer Protein Skimmer 3005. It's rated for 850 - 1100 gallons.

Anyhow have one setup? Good, Bad, Indifferent? What size recirculating pump are you using?

Incredible how fast you're putting this together. I'd be the happiest man alive if I had 5% of your carpentry skills. I come from a long line of completely inadequate mechanically inclined males.

Not a carpenter by trade but love doing the build and other projects around the new house. I've created an island in my kitchen that will be covered in a 50 million year old slab with a large 25" fossil fish in the middle. (We love fish, even the old ones!)

That's very cool. You should post a picture of it when it's done.

Sounds/looks like this is going to be a pretty cool tank and house! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see where it goes. Make sure to take lots of pics along the way!
