So after having our last tank for over 2 years, it is time to move everything into a new tank in our new facility office. Here is the link to our previous build thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/the-official-synergy-reef-build-thread.125126/
Here is the list of Planned Equipment:
Tank: Custom Synergy Reef Acrylic Show Tank 48" x 36" x 30" - 3/4" Acrylic
Overflow: Synergy Reef 20" Overflow system ( http://synergyreef.com/product/20-synergy-reef-overflow/ )
Stand: Custom 80/20 Black Anodized stand
Sump: Synergy Reef CL-44 Laminate Series sump in Red Mercury color (http://synergyreef.com/product/synergy-reef-cl-44-sumps/)
Skimmer: Vertex Alpha 170 Skimmer
Lighting: Giesemann Spectra 48" 2 x 400w Radium - 4 x 54w T5, LuXcore Metal Halide Ballasts
Return Pump: Vertex V6 or Ecotech Vectra M1 (decision to be made before plumbing)
In Tank Circulation: 2 x Ecotech MP40QD
More details to come as the build progresses.
Here are some photos of the stand after we just completed the skeleton. Stand is built from aluminum 80/20 - 3" x 1.5" and 1.5" x 1.5" Black anodised. We used all stainless steel hardware on this to make sure it does not rust from the saltwater.
Full stand shot:

The main span is built from 3" x 1.5" pieces. We used large gussets on all the corners.
