Generally I prefer slower less active fish compared to fast swimming erratic style that some fish seem to exhibit if that makes sense. These are the fish I would like.

2x common clowns
Long nose hawkfish
Tailspot or bicolour blenny
Regal angelfish
Foxface rabbit fish
Butterfly fish not sure on the type yet, I would like a copperband but I'm aware they seem to do poorly in a lot of tanks.

If I am able to cultivate enough pods in the sump then later on down the line a dragonet.

It's a shame I can't have a lionfish as I would have one instead of something else.

Should be fine.
 
I would not suggest a lion since clowns and blennies are already on the list. The clowns would probably end up as expensive snacks
 
I know people have said they have kept zebra lions with clowns and blennies with no problems, I just don't want to worry about them being eaten.

The cardinals I'm not keen on the colour, ideally I would like a blue fish something like a regal tang or powder blue tang but something that's not a tang. Don't get me wrong tangs are beautiful but I feel they need a huge tank to swim for how active they are.
 
I kept a copperband for years in a 150. No problems. Just make sure to feed it enough. I highly recommend live black worms. Mysis are next best.
 
So I changed my list!

Two percula clownfish
Long nose hawkfish
Bicolor blenny
Harlequin bass
Copperband butterfly fish
A second type of butterfly or a multibarred angelfish

Due to how difficult copperbands are to get eat even when feeding at the Lfs, I was thinking of adding him first that way he won't have to compete for food and I can work on him whilst all alone.
