30 Gallon Build

[booth2010]

Hey yall! I am new to reef tanks, I have had a 10 up for about 4 months now but am in the process of building a 30 gal with a 10 gal sump. I will have more up as I go. Right now the 10 has a torch, 2 mushrooms, a damsel, a clown, a starfish and a small assortment of cleaners. The 30 will have these plus as many zoas as I can fit! I hoping once it is all built here in the next month that it cycles fairly quick but we will see, I know with saltwater the key is patience. Ill have a quick sketch of the soon to be setup and equipment up tomorrow. Any and all suggestions and advice will be great. Happy reefing!

Here is a quick sketch of the build... Sorry it got so sloppy I was being rushed...

I am using the ALEAS Submersible Pump HM-5063 rated for 500GPH. For the return I am using a locline y fitting one will be skimming the surface for disturbance and the other will be angled down for flow. I am looking to get a Marineland Maxi-Jet Powerhead 400 which has a circulaton flow rate of 500GPH giving me a total of 1000GPH. I only plan on having zoas, my torch, and possibly a few other soft corals. More to come later. Thanks for any advise!
