Hello Mr James,
Translating to inch/gallons:
TANKS
Maternity: 71 x 35 x 16 = 172 gal
Nursery: 71 x 35 x 10 = 116 gal
Day-care center: 3 tanks with 59 x 39 x 19 = 3 x 198 gal = 594 gal (Only one tank is functioning. The others are in assembling phase)
Total tanks: ± 880 gal (by now runs ± 486 gal - only 1 Day-care center running)
SUMP (3 compart.)
41 x 27 x 19 (to skimmer+Eco-Cooler) 98 gal
45 x 57 x 19 (mangue+Live Rock+Skimmer) 221 gal
30 x 51 x 19 ( DSB/filter with algea+return pumps) 134 gal
Total sump: 450 gal
Total rude volume (Tanques+sump): 1.330 gal

This names are only to relax...
As you may read in my setup:
Maternity - Tank that lodges the mother colonies donors of polyps, or fragments, destined to the reproduction.
Nursery - Tank destined to the first phase of the reproduction. Here the polyps, or fragments, come from the Maternity to develop themselves, they are fixed in rubber covers of plastic pipes flowers. They will remain in this place the necessary time until they reach a certain state of development.
Day-care center - Tank destined to second phase of reproduction. They are transferred babies already grown from the Nursery together with the respective rubber covers.
