What if the pulley falls out of the ceiling or someone accidentally allows too much slack... disaster! Contingency plan?
>>>>
1- all the eye bolts are screwed into beams ( not coming out)
2- all the screws,bolts,pulleys,are either made of SS steel or zinc ( don't rust easy
3- the entire light fixture also has chains as well so they will only be able to go so low.
4- everything is also zip tied incase anything breaks
I did my best if anything happens now...it's in gods hands

OK, is the line through the ceiling going to that auxilary tank? That looks strange and I am very interested to know what is up with that...I can't really imagine how that would all be hooked up.

Looks pretty good, however, I don't quite understand how is it that you plan to move water from the tank to the sump and back and forth to the other larger container outside. Can you run us through it again?
>>>
the water will be coming out of the.... overflow-> Skimmer->sump->cistern->through ceiling-> back to tank. ATM because the skimmer and cistern are not here yet its ....overflow ->sump through ceiling back to tank. So late I will just put the skimmer and cistern online.

I love those lumenarcs with the vents in them. When I re-do my tank after the move that is one thing I will change. I will connect them all to a single common duct and vent them outside directly with a few smaller fans.
>>> yes I will have a FR100 4"100 CFM Inline Centrifugal Fan from Fantec. The first fan will have one vent open then the next three will be linked and the last one will have the inline exhaust fan attached and vented outside. This way the air is sucked in through the first and travels through the others to be vented out.

Small suggestion on the moonlight. Get rid of most of them except one. Then, connect that one to the moonlight feature of your aquacontroller. You'd be surprised how much light that is asnd corals do need their dark cycle to be dark.
>>> my aquacontroller will be running the Moonlight. As of the rest, I will look into this.

I have 3 in line, with 2 x 30 cfm fans which isn't enough. One fan pushes at the start, another pulls at the end. I didn't attach the hole covers b/c they blocked a lot of the airflow. I have the hoods with glass. I'm considering adding fans attached directly where the vent comes in to each hood to see if it makes a difference.
>>> if you look at my answer to dgasmd it answers you question. I also was going to put one fan on each with a vent. I called the guys at pacific garden supply ( the makers of the lumIII) and they came up with the idea of running just one large on at the end to pull the air through the rest. At 42 watts its not to bad.
Hope this helps you understand my mad scientist thoughts.
