Light: 4x400 20,000 k ° Lumenarc III reflectors and T5 many and which you advise me?
Skimmer: Deltec AP 1003 or Bubble King 300 (Supermarine or Deluxe)?
Movement: 6 x TUNZE 6205 or 6305 better?
Calcium Reactor: Korallin 4001 ..

what do you think? What change?

You will probably get better answers by posting this in the "large tank" or "equipment" sections.

Sorry, I'm not much help, but it sounds like its gonna be a sweet setup. post lots of pics when it gets set up.

Depending on what you want to grow in that tank, With the almost 10' length and almost 4' width, I would be surprised if 4x400 watts with some T-5's are enough. And not to be a debbie downer, but my math puts the tank at closer to 600 gallons..

I have not had a tank near that size, consider that in my advise. I agree the lumins wont be enough around the edges front and back. They are designed to cover a 30"x30" square. Add a 5th, and stagger them and I would say you will be fine. Or keep the front 8-12" of the tank a sandbed, and place the lights to the rear.

also, theres at least one thread w/ a BK300 not keeping up with a 380 gallon tank. I'm not familiar with the skimmer, but you may need a bigger one depending on your stocking intentions

6 halides would be better, that's for sure.....water movement looks good with the 6 Tunzes.....BTW, my LFS has the Octopus XP 8000 running on a 1500 gallon Reef and it's doing a great job....you may want to look into it.
