Help with Setup

Hi, I am trying to graduate from freshwater to reef and as such there are a lot of things I am unsure of. I have an ~500gallon tank and I am a little unsure on the order of the filtration. I have tried designing a diagram and would like to get your opinions, including whether I have just totally screwed up and everything is wrong. I have attached a diagram I made describing what I am planning. I need to know the order that things go in, and what should be on the loops. Also it would be helpful to know what components require a pump. As I'm sure these questions make obvious I am very new and am not certain on how to proceed with the filtration. Just a little background all of the equipment will be housed in a room directly behind the aquarium, so space is not an issue. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

If you have the room, that will work just fine.
