lowcost needs for a 180 reef tank?

[zepplin48138]

I am looking for low cost filtration, heating, and lighting for a 180 gallon reef setup and also the tank itself. I was wondering if anybody out there has any good ideas.
I have a lifeguard filter good for up to 300 gal as well as a large whisper filter, and a rio 800 powerhead, also I have a 20 gal and a 30 gal. glass tank.

posting the same thread in three different forums (that I have seen so far) is redundant . . . .

I felt bad for you cause you seem to not get any answers. I am setting up a 180 gallon aggressive. What is the gph on the filter, and I would go with a (i forgot the name) skimmer, and 3 metal halids ( 175watts a piece) $624 for 3. sorry that is all i know for now.
