Need Help with my 180G idea

[Groovynewbie420]

I’m completely new and only in the research stage so please be gentle lol!!! I want to do a FOWLR 180 gallon tank. 360 LBS of live rock, I plan on running 2 filters ,Premier Series Wet/Dry Filtration System 400 (45" x 12" x 18") - Pro Clear Aquatic Systems would this work?? If not any suggestions?? The protein skimmer I plan to use is FC-180 In-Sump Protein Skimmer. Would this work, if not any suggestions?? The heater I plan on using is 400W Titanium Aquarium Heater w/ Helio Controller - Redundancy Bundle, should I use 2 one on each side of the tank?? Any suggestions?? Lighting I definitely need some input on, help!!??? Any other equipment I’m missing??? Now let’s talk about my first wishlist: 1. Orange-back angelfish (Centropyge acanthops) 1.Black Cap Basslet(GRAMMA MELACARA). Group of 4-6 Blue Gudgeon dart fish(PTERELEOTRIS HETEROPTERA). Group of 4-6 bicolor chromis (CHROMIS MARGARITIFER) 1. Pink skunk clownfish (AMPHIPRION PERIDERAION) do I need an Anemone or no?? 1.Splendid Dottyback(PSEUDOCHROMIS SPLENDENS). I would love some invertebrates/ clean up crew, I’m just not sure what would work and be appropriate. I look forward too any and all feedback. Thanks

The only real differences are lighting and extent of nutrient export. Fish don't require the pristine water that some coral do, or photosynthesis.
