Might consider titanium Finnex heating elements run off a controller. For my 300 I've got an 800w and 500w. 300w heaters seem pretty small for your tank... you'd need about 8 of them. :0)

1+ on the Finnex. I use two 800w on two Ranco controllers for my 1000g system.
Wow! Need updates haha
Display 550 ish gallons if consider functioning water height, sand and anticipated rock volume. Basement about another 300 gallons water volume. Currently have 300 pounds or so of rock curing since mid February.
Very familiar with poor mans nitrate destroyer and will keep the idea in my back pocket if ever needed.
The power of natural dentrification provided by a plenum is astounding. As I have the space in my basement it is the way I want to go for its Filtration abilities and the extra water volume.
Sometime plenum get a bad rap, but when you dig deeper you see mistakes. Sand bed depth not right. Plenum space not right. Air lift tube to plenum space. Wrong sand grain size or too much/not enough maintenance to sand bed.
Forgive me for asking but are you planning on putting foam boards in between the tank and stand? If not you may want to consider it with an acrylic tank settling.
I wouldnt feel bad about taking forever. I'm in a similar boat. I've been sitting on a 400 for a year now lol. There is just so much to do with a large tank.
Out of curiosity when you cleaned up the acrylic how did you go about it? I've been starting at 400 grit for deep scratches and working my way up to 12k grit. I've been using an orbital sander starting at 800 grit on up. And plan on using mequires plastics to buff.
