300 gallon freshwater cichlid tank

Decided to upgrade my 100 gallon to a 300 gallon and found a great deal on one. What was the catch?? It needed to be cleaned!!!! I am going to be using a 75 gallon sump. Here's the pics I have so far and will post more as I get more accomplished.

Day I got it! Gross!!!
