I have already
5" humu
6" powder blue tang
6" blue hippo tang
3.5" gold maroon
3" flagfin angel

want to add:

another gold maroon to pair
spotted puffer (the small one)
teenage emperor angel
blackcap basslet
purple firefish
strawberry psuedochromis
copperband butterfly
blackcap butterfly
a couple different kidn of gobies
and in about a year or so a mandrine


any thoughts

the tank is a 190g full hex with center overflow
I am running a BK200 SM
40w UV ster.
I am not sure how much rock I am going to put in, but I have 170lbs sitting in tubs atm.

I am not going to put a lot of LS, just enough to make a nice covering of the tank bottom.
 
You already have a couple of fairly aggressive fish in there. The humu and the maroon will probably bully a purple firefish to death. I've also seen a humu kill a full sized butterfly. The puffer and psuedochromis will probably also be aggressive to the firefish and gobies. The basslet and the psuedochromis are likely to fight because of similar body shape and position in the water column. A full grown emporer angel needs more swimming room then a hex tank provides espeically considering the tangs. I would decide if you want more peaceful fish or more aggressive and then kind of go from there. Your list of current inhabitants looks pretty aggressive so far. I would add the puffer, the purple psuedochromis, maybe a hawkfish of some sort, maybe a foxface, a trigger, or a wrasse.
 
In the 2 years that I have had the humu, he hasn't shown any signs of aggression.

I assume that the clowns would just choose their spot and not move.
