On thing you really want to keep in mind is water changes, I'm planing on doing two around that size custom built, and two fw that size also. but im still in the planning stages being i havn't built my house yet and im just introducing my self to the reef, I'm really hoping that all your equipment is in a separate room if not and you have the room i would suggest moving it. making it easier to mess with and such. so if you do a 10% water change thats 250 gals or so which i'm sure you dont want to go to the lfs to get every time you do so, so if you can i would have the ro / salt water on hand at least 500 gals that you can pump into the tank when you do a water change, and and i would have another of just ro just for top offs, oh and i hope you can get in the tank easily which im sure you'll want or need to do time to time. but thats just my opinion and i wish you luck in your adventure and i too will be following your success cant wait for the pics
Pretty sure all of this will be moot, as a system this size will likely have an ATO, and he wont be "running down to the LFS" for 200+ gallons of water every couple of weeks. VERY likely that someone will be coming by every so often with a big truck full of fresh SW and do his WC for him.
