What is your total wattage on your bulbs, guessing around 260w's, you should be able to keep mushrooms, softies, probably some of the lower light SPS mounted toward the top of your reef...maybe a BTA later on in time after your tank matures...you want to keep an eye on your nitrates once your tank cycles and has been up and running for awhile...with the wet/dry and the eheim filters I would imagine they will be producing alot of nitrates...inverts and anemones tend to not do so well with the higher levels of nitrates...you will have to keep up with the water changes..is your tank reef ready or using a standard overflow box...your return pump could stand to be alittle stronger in the GPH rate, most strive for at least 10x per hour turnover, with the powerheads you may be okay, just make sure you got no dead spots, these are good places for algea to take hold, diatoms etc...you should start out slow, get some shrooms, perhaps leather, colt coral those kinds of things...is your tank cycled yet ??

Yep to reiterate what has been said go with lower light loving species and YANK the eheim and wet/dry. Use the wet/dry as a sump only throw out any bioballs as they are nitrate factories. Your live rock will do all denitrification.
