419G Display + fish room

Hello. Got a new build happening. I wanted to have a place on here to chart the progress, as well share with the community. I have designed a 14 x 9 1/2 tank room which is a walk way from my TV room to my kitchen. The room has a recessed floor, drain, sink, vents. Most of the equipment I already have from old tank. More to come. This photo was semi old I havn't transferred new new ones over yet but the walls are done. This will be kicking off here very soon finally. Pleasure to meet everyone any comments welcome. o_O

Some of the main equipment
419 Gallon Display 96x36x28 High
4x Reef breeders photon 48
2x 4ft 6 bulb T5
Super Reef Octopus XP5000 Cone Internal
Sump design not completed yet (4ft fuge)

Couple updates. Got some of my lights in. The 4 photons. Still need to buy 2 6x54w t5 fixtures to put in middle of these. I had to take one out and put it on my 180 w just rock to see what it looks like, the colors rock ! I don't like that you can't upload a file like the Radions though to make it simple, also it loses programming when power loss happens. Also some of my rock I have a few really big flat shelves in another tank i'm taking down to add to this pile. Plumbing is in room. I'm doing something a little different with my sump. I'm going to put a bulk head with a valve on it that leads to a drain in my floor. I am not keeping pods or sand in my fuge area. The area with the chaeto in every tank I've ever own has tons of detritus buildup always in that section alone. The idea is to turn a valve in my large fuge area, suck out all the detritus on very bottom and basically drain the entire sump for a water change. Then have another line plumbed into the sock area to fill up sump again. So will keep my fuge/sump detritus free and have effortless water changes. That's the idea so far hopefully it turns out.

These are huge! I put a lot of them together I think i'm going to saw them in halfs I don't want any rock going above mid tank.
