Well, that's about 900gal. Big sump, big fuge, huge skimmer, tons of MH lights, structural/electrical/HVAC upgrades to your house, etc.

Based on my costs for my 225, I'd say plan on $50k maybe more. You might want to start smaller where more people have experience and can offer advice.

3' tall will be hard to clean and reach things on the bottom. Aside from start up costs, keep in mind the running and maintenance costs. Electric, replacement bulbs, salt, and personal time to do maintenance. If this is not a problem, then good luck and keep us posted!
