agressive reef stock for a 300
I had a reef tank years ago and getting back into it....my fish list is

for the 300 are 98X30x24

harlequin tusk fish
Radiata Lion fish
niger trigger
emperor angelfish
clown tang
maroon clown with bta

I am aware of the difficulty of the lionfish diet, and clown tangs susceptibility to ick

for corals I am going for soft corals, leathers. and monti caps possibly. Only going to have 8X54 t-5 bulbs over it but it will be a island display

will the fish work?
 
I mean the only issue I would be concerned with is, is the Emporer.Now, Not all Angels eat Corals.You might get lucky.QT the Clown.

Many people put the tuskfish in the "aggressive" category, but I've never found that to be the case. Some will eat members of your clean up crew, but mine never started problems with any other fish. In fact, a yellow tang half the tusk's size use to bully it around. They are aggressive at feeding time. He use to grab the entire sheet of nori and sit behind the rockwork until he devoured almost the whole thing. Great fish though, but far from aggressive IMHO.
 
Triggers and lions - not a good idea...
I have a Niger that killed my Pterois antennata.

There is a thread about them being "bad tank mates"
