Hey I am from Mass as well. I currently have 180g running with 50g sump and 30g sump plus 1 xp3 Rena canister. My tank are crystal clear right now. I have a black aro, Dats, and will be getting some ray soon.
Like other said 180g will not be holding these fish for life, but it will hold for a long time. I would suggest go with 2 FX5 or wet/dry sump IMO.
Just keep in mind that the more stock you put in the more waste will produce from fish. So you need more filtration.
Good luck and post up some pictures when you done with your set up. If you need used filtration let me know i may have some for sale. don't spend rediculous price at LFS.
