First off Hello,
New to this forum, My name is TJ and I am a Building Contractor, and I just completed a 350 Gallon Saltwater Tank Installation for a home owner, I owned a 150 Freshwater Tank years ago. This is my 1st experience with a saltwater Aquarium.
I cut & framed an opening thru the wall between the existing garage/Kitche to allow only the face of the Tank to penetrate the wall, and trimmed it to look resemble a picture frame. I plumbed the 350 gallon tank and the filtration tanks located beneath it. I am including a "Link to the photos" I have taken during construction, my question is does this look like an adequate system for this Tank, the Owner wants to have a few Sharks & Maybe a Ray. I welcome any input.

, It was a fun project, I tried to make it as low maintenance as possible, the pump can be used to drain or Supply water, the waste water is discharged thru the washing machine Discharge Connection (via an ABS "Y' Fitting), Flow, Supply & Return can be tuned/adjusted, It's pretty scary working with that much water, luckily it's in the garage, the top of the Tank is 7' High so I framed a Ladder & Platform to stand on for easy access, figured a ladder would be a big pain, I Insulated the Room & used the HVAC Supply Duct to climate control the Tank room, on a 105 degree Day it was 120 degrees in the garage, the Tank room stays at a constant 68 degrees (10 degrees cooler then inside the house ....
