Like the title says, what are your thoughts on my stock list? tank is a 220 gallon reef that will have little and open rockwork for lots of swimming room. Will also have lots of filtration.

2 Hippo Tangs
2 Yellow Tangs
1 Clown tang
1 Powder Blue tang
1 Blue Caribbean Tang
1 Foxface
1 Flame angel
some smaller anthias
some small gobies,blennies, and a pair of true perc clownfish
 
That sounds like a lot of tangs for a tank that size. The clown tang will definitely outgrow it, and possibly the 2 Hepatus tangs as well. Powder blue tangs can be very aggressive, so that could cause problems as well.
 
Thats a whole lot of fish and tangs for a 220. Most tang will fight with each other of the same species if not a pair. Your talking like 25 fish. Too many IMO. Powder blue tangs are very difficult to meet the needs of so unless very experienced I would stay away from. Clown tangs are very aggressive as they age.
 
If it were me, I would change those doubles to singles and lose the clown tang, they are very aggressive and will make the others miserable.
