setting up 265gal

[Fly 75]

I am looking for some input on equipment for a just bought 265gal FOWLR. Looking good quality and price. I plan on using 3 175watt halide retro kit (already have). Will most likely buy a sump in stead of making one. Thinking of using the following (have used in the past but open for suggestions). Euroreef skimmer, size???, 2 little giant return pumps, uv sterilizer ???, auto top off, koralia powerheads. Not sure about a canister filter for extra filtration?? What am I missing?

As far as fish, I currently have a chevron and a blue hippo tang I plan to have. Not sure about what else. I like niger triger, naso tang, yellow tang, emperor angel (or similar), harlequin tusk, small shark, a grouper, pink tail trigger, huma trigger, clown trigger, and more I'm sure. Looking for a good mix of fish, not to picky. Any help would be appreiciated!

Be careful mixing fish. Also, be careful with the order in which you introduce them. I would buy smaller fish and let them grow in your tank.

I wouldn't add a shark unless you plan on forgetting about the triggers and angels. They tend to do extremely poorly together. And if you do decide on one, get a small species, such as the Coral Cat or Marbled Catsharks, both of which reach about 24-28" in length.

I understand and agree with the adding fish. I plan to ask more questions on that later. Good to know about the shark thing, will forget about the shark so I can keep an angel and trigger. I am still looking for some ideas on equipment opinions. Thanks again
