New Tank Just Ordered!

I'm stoked. I just took the first step into my next tank. OK... Maybe a few steps in by now. I just ordered a 58x24x36 acrylic with a coast to coast overflow. I promised myself that after a year of keeping coral alive and not burning a tank I would spend some money on an in wall system.

The tank was ordered from GPS Aquariums in Sacramento. I love the way their tanks look and the staff there are really helpful. Please excuse the plug.

I'm going for a sump that's 48x18x20. I figured that around 75 gallons which would bring the entire system to around 240 gallons.

I'm going to put it here:

Yes.. I am going to have to find space for my wife's miniature nativity set... You may also notice that the baseboards are missing on the bottom of the picture. I've just replaced the flooring in the area with vinyl planking due to the fact that I am accident prone. I figured it would be easier to clean, etc...

I've got my eye on a hammerhead gold circ pump and a couple of decent LED's for it. I'm REALLY excited right now. I plan on having an automated water change setup on this tank.

I think this is my second or third post. Sorry for the intrusion. I know I haven't posted a lot but I've been reading everything I could for the last year. I feel like I know a lot of you and could really use some input on just about every aspect of starting a new tank.

If anyone has any horror stories or some advice it would be really appreciated.

Did I mention I was REALLY excited???
