275g Build up in AZ

Being fully addicted to this hobby, I somehow managed to have about 9 tanks running in my house. Not only is this getting out of hand, but maintenance is a tad much :-) I have decided to put up one large tank to incorporate a few other tanks that I currently have running. I am planning to combine a 125, a 29 and a 40 breeder all into this monster, wish me luck!

So here it is:

Underneath is 3/4 finished:

275g display, 55g Sump/skimmer/LR tank, and 30g refugium (not in yet)
Closed Loop with ampmaster 4000 2 1"drains, 1 1" return split to 4 3/4" locline with 2 spray nozzles, and 2 nipples.
Sump/Skimmer tank fed from overflow (dual 1 1/4" drain) Return through 2 High Pressure CSL and Dolphin pumps 3/4" lines

soon to be added:
Skimmer ( final decisions being made, probably the ASM G4x )
minimum 1/3hp chiller
dual 25w Uv Sterilizers
250+lbs live rock 100+ I have curing/reseeding in the garage and another 150+ I have in my 125 and 40 breeder
30g refugium with 6"+ DSB and Macro algae
2" sand in display
I probably forgot some things
Livestock:
Angels, Tangs, Etc, and a very healthy Bamboo Cat

I will keep it updated as it goes, any questions, just ask. Oh yeah Display is 76"x29"x29" 1" Acrylic overflow on one end peninsula obviously
 
Bump with some love......
I decided it is getting hot in AZ (110 today!) and my curing tank in the garage needs to come down, probably a month or so late I know, but the 275 is going slowly. So anyways I decided (along with the help of the AZ FRAG group ) that the ASM body I have laying around is going to work if I get a Sedra9000 , recirc and gate valve mod it, and then maybe in the future add another G3 or G4 if deemed nec.
Here it is, I filled the sump with SW and added a few of the nicer pieces of rock I had in the garage along with the skimmer rigged to a pump that I shall not name:

I am still waiting on my refugium that will sit in front of the sump and gravity feed back into it, as well as some scratch removal on the sand line and one panel inside ( hopefully to be done next week ) and the sump is completely shut off from the display as of now so I figure it will be OK.

I just need to get my sand and as soon as the scratches are out I am ready to fill!
