315 Gallons of Reefapalooza

[D_Reep1106]

Hey all, I am finally starting a build thread on my upcoming system. I have been collecting all the stuff for this set up over the last 2 years or so. Ive got all kinds of drawings to upload that will show a little better what my gameplan is for this system. I have a 4'x2'x2' 120 gallon display sitting over top of 6'x18"x21" 125 gallon sump/refugium. The 125 is going to be broken up into a settling chamber, skimmer chamber, return chamber, and the rest ~85 gallons will be dedicated to a refugium. The rest of the water volume is coming from either another 90 gallon display I will tie in to the side of the 120 or a 4'x2'x1' 60 gallon frag tank. I'll add much more in the days to come but for now I'll list the equipment I already have/ plan to use.
