Today the first of my equipment arrived for my 265 gallon custom build. I am undecided which of my fish I am going to put in it. However, I want to document the build. So far here is what I plan:

265 gallon custom Lee Mar (84x30x24) with starefire glass on front and sides. The tank is predrilled and comes with all the bells and whistles.
Marineland Acrylic sump model 4.
2 Marineland Maxi-jet pumps rated 1384 GPH each (0 head).
Custom Oak stand and canopy courtesy of precision woodcraft in San Diego.
Marineland LED bright lights (One 36 inch and two 24 inch).
Schedule 80 bulkheads.
One Fx5 for water polishing (Ran through predrilled bulkheads).

So far that is it. Below is pictures of the sump and pumps that came today:

The lights arrived today. Since they do not make an 84 inch light I went with one 36 and two 24 inchers. I will say this, I am stunned at how bright these lights are (They have both white and blue lights). Technology has advanced big time. Here are some pictures:
