Reefamorous's 400g system, DIY complete setup

[wesamazmy]

Hi everyone,

I am posting this to provide me your advice because this is will be the biggest system I ever made.

I am going to build 400 gallons system, this system will have more than one tank connected all together in one system as below:

- Main display tank 180 gallons with dimensions 160 W x 70 L x 60 H cm
- Sump 85 gallons with dimensions 120 W x 60 L x 45 H cm
-Refugium display 58 gallons with dimensions 70 W x 70 L x 45 H cm
-Frag Tank 58 gallons with dimensions 70 W x 70 L x 45 H cm

Why I planned to have the frag tank connected to the same system?
The simple answer is to have the frags settle for a while after cutting it before they move to a new environment.

I need some time to complete this build, so I will post updates regularly.

Any advice and recommendations will be really appreciated!
