8-10 holes around the perimeter of the Eurobracing for returns
Lower Tank
240 gallon peninsula style Acrylic tank

Circulation/Plumbing
I'm going to try to keep it as simple as possible as I've had rotating return devices fail on me at the worst possible times in the past
Will probably go with fixed locline returns
Variable alternating flow in the tank will be created by 2 controllable Tunzes on the back wall of tank. Each one will be placed in the open 6" of space on each side of the back overflow.
Return Pump(s) from sump to locline - Undecided
No closed loops
Tunzes in the lower tank to add circulation still needed after gravity fed water enters from display tank
Lighting
Upper Display
400w SE
Lumenarcs or Lumenmaxs reflectors
VHO Actinics for sunrise/sunset and supplementation

Controller
Undecided. I have an ACII on my current 180g but am thinking about either an ACIII or a Profilux because of it's ability to control Tunzes.
Skimmer

Chiller
Undecided
