180 gallon build

[Dustin2]

Ok I just got my 180 gallon tank. I am wondering what i should do next. I know where i am going to put it. I have all these items so far:
Berlin skimmer/the biggest one.
2 400 watt metal halide setups
looking for a return pump/maybe a mag 18 because there will be like no head prreasure and it will be less money.\
As far as live rock i am going to get lace rock.
i am using my old 75 gallon as the sump.

Any suggestions on what else i need to buy or just any tips would be greatly appriciated. I will post pics later of tank.

Well, you need flow for sure. Either a CLS or some powerheads. If you are going to have a heavy load, you will need a bigger skimmer also. The mags are fine for a return pump, people just complain that they are noisy. I will probably end up using mags myself, either an 18 or 24.
