Building out a fish room

[Falreef]

I have a 12-14' x 6-7' presently Freshwater Fish room I'd like to consider converting to a Saltwater / Reef Fish room.
Who's the place and person to go to regarding executing a design for this? I'm looking at it being 3 interlinked tanks, made of acrylic all over a full sump, in which one part of the sump is a display sump which you will see on the bottom of the first tank
as you walk into the room through the door and look down to the left. The room already has a slop sink. I'd do some extra paint, water proof, possibly even acrylic over it to deal with the salt easily. The tanks would be interlinked with 4-6 inch acrylic tubes that could then be closed off using an acrylic plate with magnets on each side. Frag / Coral grow out, probably bare bottom (or part bare bottom, part sand bed. Then a lagoon tank with good sand bed for interesting invertebrates, gobies, blennies. Then connected to a larger deeper tank probably will be about 70-80 gallons, could even make it into a dropoff style. All would drain into a single sump, but with each being able to be isolated if wanted and needed for any reason. Then a completely separate 1 or 2 tank Quarantine system. A fragging station.
Of course would need storage containers stacked to have 40-80 gallons for RODI water that could easily be moved to a ATO reservoir or moved to a Saltwater mixing reservoir.

Does anyone know of anyone who could help in this design and outfitting and how to go about figuring out what this would cost to do,
and all the equipment necessary and costs?

Suggestions? Ideas? Contacts?

I'm not saying I'm a expert but I built a custom home with a 7 foot salt water tank put in and used as a wall in between rooms. That tank was custom made also very skinny, self maintaining and huge. It was around 3000 (it was a smoking deal) I had a local pet store owner, mom and pop place, design and build it. That might be an idea?

Thanks Kllank. I have an idea of the design and what I want. Not sure if executable or the best way to do it. Certain could not do the build. I'll link up with some local LFS perhaps.
