New tank ideas...

[corwise]

How's it going? Since my tank was completely wiped out in the massive ice storm a few weeks back, I now have a generator and am going to start over. Thinking to try an aggressive tank this time, and since I'm deployed to the desert and don't have any of my books, I'm doing this off memory and the extremely limited internet access I can get. So any help/inputs on my thoughts would be appreciated.

I currently have a 90 gal w/sump, protein skimmer, and about 110 lbs of live rock.

Harlequin Tusk
Dragon Wrasse
Trigger (Niger or Picasso, some say Picasso needs more room, some say it's fine, looking for inputs)
Tang (Lavender or Purple)

For cleaning:
Dragon Gobie

Two smaller fish for some color:
Purple Pseudochromis
Flame Hawkfish


I would love to add a large angel at some point, but I'm guessing I woudn't have the room. I would like to put in some corals, leathers and/or hard, depending on how the fish do. Any thoughts are appreicated, have a good Xmas.

Niger, and humu are 2 of the mellower triggers, but I still worry about having them, and those other big fih in a tank of that size with the purple pseudochromis. Why not replace it with a flame angel?

Sorry to hear about the loss of your tank. I think the dragon wrasse is going to be too big and aggressive.

What do you think of:

Harlequin tuskfish
Smaller trigger (like a Picasso) or substitute a dogface puffer
Lavender or purple tang
Dragon goby
Dwarf angelfish (flame or coral beauty - I think these are hardiest)
Flame hawk (these may be too small, you may want a larger species)

I can dump the psuedochromis with no problems, I was just trying to add a bit of color. I've had extremely bad luck with Flame Angels, so I'm wary about adding another one. Coral Beauty sounds good though.
If the Flame Hawkfish is to small/wimpy, any other Hawkfish ideas? Or any other colorful bright fish that can be added?
The Dragon Wrasse is one of my "really want" fish. Maybe if I dump another fish there'd be enough room? I can always live without, but always liked them. Thanks for the replies.
