FAr out, Mike! Hmm... maybe I better look at that on the T1 connection I have at work.
oh I know..you want us all to come out there to help you!! You supply the rooms and beverage, and we'll bring sleeping bags, etc. How's that for a plan?

So which way is the viewing couch going to fit? Surely you'll place tank-facing furniture in there...
Wow... that is going to be one heck of a setup. What's the timeline on it?

Looks like a monster 
Are you going to have 4 fish in this one  ?
The only thing that I would maybe think about trying to add would be some type of surge along with your closed loop.
Let me know if you need help

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It's just me, but I would go on and get a 120w High Output UV. Talk to Greg.
It's just beautiful!
I'm speechless.

Zowie, Mike! 
You're going to have to take out the wall where the bar is at between the tank room and the family room so you have more viewing area
(Don't tell Lorena I was the one who suggested that! She'll make me sleep out on the deck with the dog next time )
So we're going to have a tank raisin', are we? Count me in!
