yes it is. I even thought about having it polished upIs that copper around the outside of the tank?
definitely not metal. food grade plastic water containers are best IMO. I use two 55 gallon plastic drums. I also have a 300 gallon tank and wish I had the capacity to store more as i can only do a 25% water change. You never know when you will need to do a 50% water change so i would have done 3 drums or 1 large container if i had it to do over.
What does the equipment list look like.
Are you a DIY type of person? If so you might want to build a LED array for this. I would but I have budget constraints.
Vortec pumps after time will get loud due to bearing failures. I love my vortechs but let it be known this do get noisey

Run a reactor from the start. I got mine from BRS (bulk reef supply) I run Rowa-Phos and If you run it from the start you should never have any Phosphate issues it lasts 3 to 6 months and wont leach back into water when full. If you get a dual unit you can run carbon in one side as I do. Over sized skimmer is a must. reefledlights.com has some great LED kits and pre made fixtures. They have Best quality bin LEDs I would put 4 over your tank but 3 would work. They are as powerful as a 400watt radium MH. 6 stage RO/DI got mine at BRS too. Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. MY choice reef flakes for sand and Carib sea dry rock.
This is big if you have the time I suggest you buy dry rock not live rock. you make it live. Buying live rock almost always has things in it you don't want in your tank such as aptashia. Using dry rock you can glue it all together and get it just how you want it. Make sure to think about coral placement and make shelves and over hangs with areas to place corals. Hope this helps I could go on and on. I have a list of stuff I know now and wish I had done from the start.
next your going to want to get a controller , I would suggest Neptune Systems Apex AquaController System with Lab Grade pH Probe top of the market. I wouldn't leave home without it!!!!
as for the rock I would throw away the bucket I saw and order 300 pounds of dry pukani from here Pukani Dry Aquarium Live Rock - Bulk Reef Supply youll love it!!!! also with your rodi I would get this BRS 6 Stage DELUXE RO/DI System - 75GPD - Bulk Reef Supply
