I absolutely refuse to comment on such a stunning tank, with to die for clams and corals. People might think I was stalking your tank and we would...
Are you getting them on line or locally? In a new set up I would go light on the snails unless you have a significant algae bloom. Get smaller types...
The Emperor really needs a much bigger tank than 180 gallons. It will out grow that size of tank and then you will have problems re-homing the fish...

Frankly, just do it simply and get either seeded sand or live rock from an existing SW system. Yes there are Anaerobic and Aerobic bacteria in both...
