I'd skip the clown tang. Otherwise its about the same fish load and genus distribution in my 285. couple wrasses might be OK too. I moved and lost a few fish but I had
1 powder blue
1 hippo
1 purple
1 male bellus RIP
1 flame angel RIP
1 longnose hawk
1 melanrus wrasse
1 x mas wrasse
1 yellow wrasse
1 pink margin fairy wrasse
1 6 line wrasse
about 10 chromis/lyretale anthias
1 gobie
1 clown

harlequin tusk in a reef is becoming more common, snail and crabs beware!!!

nice list, the clown might be the "deal breaker", might do a pbt or achilles instead. would like 1 acanthurus tang....
 
CHSUB: yes, I'm excited about the Harlequin Tusk. Pick it up tomorrow. I don't care about crabs, snails and shrimp. Just cautious about whether it will touch clams or not.

I was also thinking about getting an Achilles, but probably would have to trade out my Hippo if so as that would be too many fish for my tank I suspect..
