Here is an overview of a system that is very close to being purchased. If anyone has feedback on whether this is a killer system or why i should change something, or if i left something out please say so. This is a big purchase and i want all the feedback possible.

Leemar 72 x 24 x 31.5 with starphyre

Skimmer G4

Lighting 3 x 250 halides and 2 x 96 pc atinics

Pumps Blue line HD100 and another HD a little smaller or, Ampmaster 2800s x 2

Calcium Reactor Coralvue Octopus 1 chamber with a 10lb bottle w/ a sms 122 controller

Chiller Tradewind 1/3 hp chiller

Sump w/ refugium

Ok any comments will be awesome. feel free to say whatever you want. Anything will help. If this was your system and you wanted a rock solid system around this price range would you do it the same?
 
If this is just a list you have assembled then can I offer some changes?

Switch the G4 skimmer for a G4x. Bigger pump and better skimmer...

I prefer VHO to PC for actinics simply because of the URI super actinic R's.

31.5" is a TALL aquarium. That is a lot of water for 250 watt halides to penetrate. I'm assuming you are wanting SPS or clams due to the calcium reactor, true? Consider 400 watter's are great reflectors or Dual Endeds with nice reflectors.
