Suggestions for upcoming 180 gallon

[iwantone]

Planning a 180 gallon reeftank (transferring my 120 gallon cube over)

Inhabitants: I like lagoon style therefore: anemones, mainly softies, a huge clam, montis and a few stag acropora

Fish: 6 blue green chromis, mated pair of true percs, tiger goby and pistol shrimp, purple fridamini, Hawiian flame wrasse.

Tank dimensions 60Lx24Wx30H acrylic
Lighting: 2 x 250DE halides, 4 x75watt vho
Substrate: Deep sand bed with plenulum
Flow: Rotating Tunzes on osciwave devices

Question:

1) I would like to avoid using a sump and am thinking about the tunze hang on the back products that incorpate surface skimming, mechanical filtration and a calcium unit and water top off all in one that I could hang on the back of the tank

Does anybody have experience with this product??

2) I was also thinking about a tunze wave box. Good or bad idea?


Thanks for the suggestions. I am open to most ideas that don't involve excessive plumbing.

the wavebox is an excellent device, it does shorten the life expectancy of the tank but worth it in the long run IMO.
