It's time for an upgrade! I'm in the process of designing a 400 gallon reef tank to upgrade the 100 gallon Red Sea 525 that I've outgrown. Dimensions will be 130"x30"x24" (11ft x 2.5ft x 2ft) and sitting on a 37" stand. Tank will be Eurobraced, Starphire, and probably wrapped in black on 3 sides. Here's a general overview of the tank:
I'm planning on running dual Synergy Shadow V3 Overflows: one on each short-end of the tank with 4x 1" returns evenly distributed on the back wall. I've masked the location with painter's tape where I plan on putting the tank in my home office:
Filtration design points I'm planning for:

Filtration design points I'm planning for:
- 3x turnover to one side of the sump running a 80 gallon fuge, skimmer, and 90K uw/cm UV for protozoa control
- 5x turnover to the other side of the sump running socks/fleece and a 30K uw/cm UV for algae control
