Tank Stocking OK?

[kangadrew]

Well it's been 7 months today since my 450 gallon FOWLR crashed, and it's finally up and running again! I want to restock it with semi-aggressive/aggressive stuff instead of just peaceful stuff this time, so I'm thinking big on this one. Let me know if this stock list sounds OK:
-Blue jaw triggerfish
-Humu triggerfish
-Clown triggerfish
-Blonde naso tang
-Yellow tang
-Purple tang
-Clown surgeonfish
-Spotted blue unicornfish (I'm looking for a fish that will interact - do I go with this guy or a flat out unicorn tang?)
-Blue face angelfish
-Flame angelfish
-Flameback angelfish
-Majestic angelfish
-Emperor angelfish
-Scribbled angelfish
-Harlequin tusk
-Stars and stripes puffer
-Saddleback butterflyfish
-Foxface
-Moorish idol

The tank is a 450 gallon, measuring 10 feet long by 3 feet wide by 2 feet high. Thanks!

As for the unicorn tangs... Naso unicornis, and N. brevirostris are fairly similar in terms of temperament, and you can't go wrong with either fish in this regard.

My unicornis are very laid back, but also won't take flack from the other fish. They are very active swimmers, and use every inch of my 10' pool. My guys are only about half grown (around 12") and very hefty fish - remind me of little Beluga whales, especially at feeding time. They are very personable, coming up to me to beg for food whenever I am near the pool.

The only downside IMO, is that they have a tendency to make a big tank look small.

Here's a pic of one of mine coming up to grab a bite!

That's amazing! Do you have a build thread or details about your pool?

Yeah, here is a link http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2432500

Oh... and if you are considering adding a Rhinecanthus spp. to your tank, I recommend R. assasi. Great fish!
