Starting over and a new fish list!

In Memoriam
My tank crashed and I lost all of my inhabitants save for four PJ cardinals. Good news is that I'm going larger and get to plan a new fish list!! The new tank is a 180

Any thoughts on what order to add these? This is my tentative order

Harem of Lyretail Anthias - 1 male / 4 females?
Lemon peel OR a bicolor Angel
Dwarf Lion
Gold Stripe Maroon Clown (do these do well in pairs?)
Purple Tang and a Powder Brown Tang (I'll add them at the same time)
Foxface

A large angel of some sort- haven't decided what, but will probably be my last addition, so I have a while to decide
 
That list seems generally ok. However -
Maroons are notoriously difficult to pair so I would buy them already paired up.
Lemon Peel and Bicolor angels are not really appropriate for reefs as they are the worst angels for coral munching. A few people are lucky with them, the majority aren't. If your planning a FOWLR then no problem.
Other than that it all seems good!

What caused the crash?
 
Thanks. I'm going to look for a pair of Maroons otherwise go with just one. I've had a lemonpeel and a bicolor in different tanks with no issues - must have been lucky! My hubby likes something yellow and I don't want a Tang.... Maybe I'll look for something else.

We purchased new flooring in our living room and I had to break down my tanks. During the move I think I disturbed the 7", 4 year old DSB too much and inadvertently transferred a lot of yuccky water to my holding tanks. They spiked horrendously, my fish died within hours. Despite many MASSIVE water changes most of my corals are also gone.

The loss of my bicolor and the foxface are the worst. I had lost most of other favorites to a 14" serpent star a few months ago who suddenly decided to start eating my sleeping fish. I lost one a night for almost a week before I yanked him out of my tank - he had already eaten my blenny, my YT, the powder blue, my hawkfish, royal gramma and the chromis!
