suggestions for a brand new 180 gallon

[droptopcobra97]

hey all i just purchased the tank of my dreams. i got a 180 gallon with over flows going into a 40 gallon sump that i need help setting up heres a link if you have any ideas. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1798923 . so i have run reef tanks for 15 years with major success . now i want a fish only tank to show off angels , tangs and triggers . i have big dreams of having a lion and a moray also , but like i said im dreaming right now . i plan on using live rock in the tank for structure . what suggestions do you all have as far as keeping these beauties alive ? eating ? im sure there is a lot of water changes in my future but general maintenance is not a problem with me . if anyone could look at my sump and think about this set up you have no idea how much id appreciate it . i want to get started . .... so if all of this is right what kind of stock would you guys go with in a 180 . ? am i dreaming with what i said as far as stock goes ?

guessing its now going to be a reef? going on what you said you like to see my picks would be a emperiator angle, a blue powder naso or achillies tang, and a clown trigger. :] thats what id get. id help with the sump situation but im inexperienced with them lol

Lions and Triggers are not compatible. So you would have to go with 1 or the other. Basically the trigger will just systematically chew the spines off the lion fish until it's completely defenseless.

I have a 180 Reef. But for a FOWLR I would go with:

Blue Throat Trigger or Volitan Lion
Snowflake Moray
Regal Angel
Harlequin Tusk
Some kind of Butterfly (I'm partial to the Tinkerii or Declivis myself)
