Default 240 Planning Stages

Hello,

My wife and I are starting our home renovation soon and I have finally talked her into a large tank for our rec room, costs etc to be tied in with the renovation. The catch however, seeing as she knows me well, she would like a cost breakdown for all the materials involved. I've started my list below and I am looking for some insight as to what I may have missed, what you would add or remove, what equipment you might swap out.


Tank - 96x24x24 - 240 gal
Sump - 48x18x24
PFO Mini HQI Pendent - 250W x4
Aqua C EV-400 Protein Skimmer Package - Mak-4 Pump
Sequence ReeFlo External Water Pump - Dart (3600GPH) - Closed Loop
Sequence ReeFlo External Water Pump - Dart (3600GPH) - Return Pump
Jager 200 Watt Aquarium Heater (Eheim) x3
Instant Ocean Sea Salt - 160 Gallon Mix x3
Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor 150 Pro Package - Plus Media
Neptune Systems AquaController Junior Package (DC8)
Exhaust Fan - Humidity Control
Kent Marine Maxxima Hi-S RO/DI (Reverse Osmosis/Deionization) Filter - 60 GPD
Precision Marine Reverse Flow 422 Calcium Reactor Package - Plus Media
Precision Marine Kalkreactor KR620 - Plus Media
Misc. Plumbing
Electrical

( List updated as per suggestions )


The tank will be placed in the center of a 25' wall with the cabinet running the entire length of the 25' with the exception of a false panel at one end for taller items, the space will be 24"x24"x8' high. There will be no access to the back of the tank so all plumbing will have to be done through the bottom of the tank. My wife would like a true show tank, nothing jury-rigged or hokey looking. So any equipment advice or general advise you could provide to make this a reality would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks all
