I decided two runs this as three system with three separate sumps.
I wanted more desperation between types of animals that have different requirements.
I also did it because I do not want a crash taking out all the tanks,
All tanks can be isolated.
This weekend I hope to make a dent in the east wall and have it finished in two to three weeks and testing it out.
The north wall is still be designed. So that will change but not much. I want to make it so I can build 1/2 now and the other 1/2 latter as I need it. So it will just be splitting it in two parts.

One more update I did pick up a new RLS R8I skimmer.
Also looking for ideas on how to control theses tanks. their are 24 aqauriums on 3 separate systems.
I wanted to control these with reef keeper lites but with them out of business not a option.
I was thinking of Apex JR but it is a little pricey and also on the chopping block.
I do not want them all on one controller. It fails i loose everything.
At this point I am thinking of just good old fashion timer and heating controller.

Ok design has changed again and back to the original design.
North wall:
East wall:
The only thing that is changing is I am adding another sump for the right two sections of the north wall. I am not sure I want stuff from the reef/colony aquarium getting into a more controlled environment. It is just hard to keep stuff out of the other tanks that might come in on live rock in the colony tank, but than again stuff going on that wall really should not be affected by some amphipods, copepods or anything else..

I decided to start over on this build since it changed so much from what I originally intended it to be.:
