Is this going to be a full blown reef? If so:

Get a new LFS. He sold you the bio-ball stuff which is bad for a reef.
Also recommending tap water is just indicates he has absolutely no idea what the heck he's talking about.
No way a Berlin Hang on will handle a 180. Aqua C or Euroreef is the way to go.

I have a berlin classic (in sump). Even with major mods it's not doing a great job on my 120.


Your fish.

Emperator - yes he will eat your corals
Lion Fish - too dirty for a reef. They do grow to 8". Eventually it will start snacking on invertabrates and possibly your clowns.

Good luck
