Aquarium: 120" x 80" x 24" (950 gallons) | 200 x 300 x 60 cm (3600 liters)
Lighting: 12 x 100 watt LED (equivalent 12 x 250 Watt HQI)
This is probably the most elaborate LFS tank you will ever see. The folks at HPAquaristik recently uploaded a series of short videos of their new main reef display. Suffice it to say, I am in awe of the thought that went into the storm-simulation system of their massive system.

It's far from my place to offer constructive criticism on this awesome system, but integrating pump programs with the lighting system could create an even more spectacular simulated storm.
Unless you're a serious malcontent, there's no way these videos do not inspire you:
