Stocking my 180 gal tank

I had some corals at the start came with the LR but bough a racoon butterfly and well you know the rest of the story, he is gone know died about 5 months ago some of the corals have started to grow back.
 
I might have a new plan,

Leave the smaller fish in my 55 gal take out the yellow and blue hippo tangs move to the new tank that way I can get a Porc. puffer and may be the trigger, that there will be larger fish only and maybe a couple more what do you think about that.
 
Hey Germanman

I went to a different LFS and they said for a FO that you don't need LR use a wet/dry filter Protein skimmer with a micron filter what are your thoughs. Totaly opposite of what I've read and been told
 
I think what I'm going to do is buy a wet/dry sump with protein skimmer the one from my LFS has a extra sump that I will turn into a refuge, I will also take the bio balls out and replace it with LR. I wish I could just set the damm thing up and not try to second guess all the time LOL.
