Restocking my 125

I had a horrible sps rtn situation 2 or 3 months ago (lost every colony, only saved a couple tiny frags here and there) and ended up making some drastic changes to the system. In the process of changing from a starboard bottom back to a dsb, I moved all of my corals to another tank and a LFS (Inland Aq) housed my fish for me while I cycled. I knew it would take some time to get the system ready, so I traded several fish and only kept a few. I brought my maroon clown pair and yellow tang home a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm looking to get my new stock list sorted out. Here's my wish list:

Pair of spawning maroon clowns (female has been in my system over 2 years)
Yellow tang (still smallish--I've had him for 6 mos)

Would like to add (in this order)
Genicanthus angel (watanabei or melanospilus), one or a pair?
Flame angel
Bluethroat trigger

The display tank is 125 gal, plumbed to a 100 gal sump, 40 gal fuge, and a 40 gal tank holding my leaky Euroreef. I calculate my total volume is around 215 gal. I've pretty much given up on sps and the tank will be mainly LPS and soft corals, along with the 2 rbta I already have.
 
Nobody has any input?

Here's my update. I put a deposit down for a pair of watanabei from a highly respected online RC sponser. He said it'll be 2 to 3 weeks before they're ready. Since nobody's jumped down my throat about my fish list, I'll probably stick with what I asked about. I'm strongly considering getting a pair of jawfish as well (I miss my pair, they were my first SW fish.)
 
Hey Christy!!
Besides the Flame possibly nipping at corals...list looks okay. Did you sell your other Angel? Can't remember exactly what species but it was so pretty!:rollface:
 
The swallowtail died while it was being boarded at Inland during my recent tank rearrangement. :( I have been looking to replace it but nobody has had them in stock for several weeks. I figured if I had to do a special order anyway, why not get my dream fish? ;)
