450 In wall custom build

JupiterFinder · 04/17/2016, 06:02 AM

Members, Thank you in advance for your help.
We are upgrading from our 155 bow front and installing a 450 gallon see through between 2 rooms.
The new tank will be 96" long, 30" wide and 30-36 inches deep (it's up for debate, but I will need lights to penetrate), 2 center overflows will be hidden with live rock.

I am looking for suggestions on on brands and anyone's previous experiences.
1. Lights: I'm currently running 4 AI Sol white; however AI is not making these anymore; so the debate is between Kessils or AI; or open to suggestions. Also wil need a light for the refugium.
2. Skimmer?
3. Pumps (Main and chiller)
4. Sump
5. UV Sterilizer
6. RO/DI/Autofill
8. ??Suggestions??
