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.

i set up a 180 in january a 75 might be hard to work in under a normal stand, i have a mag 18 and all is well so far GL

Personally, I'd go for something a little more efficient wattage wise than a Mag18. It'll add some heat for sure to your tank which you really don't need with (2) 400W halides.
