Agree on the yellow, get a yellow coris wrasse -lively and bold.

You are going to have trouble with that many tangs in such a small tank once they grow up.

Achillies rarely come up in Perth and im not 100% on the sailfin either might go for a smaller bristletooth tang kole eye maybe take out banana wrasse add 2x bangii cardinals take out 6line wrasse shying away from blue green chromis as well
 
I know its a big tank but Naso tangs always seem to pace tanks less then 8' long. 30+ fish in a 6' long tank seems a little crowded for my taste. Just the tangs, anthias, and wrasse's seem like a fully loaded tank.

Yeah that was one of the things that popped out at me, having had a 6' x 2' x 2' tank seem like an extra foot of front to back depth doesn't make that tank that much larger. Then again, I keep 2 tangs (yellow & tomini), 1 foxface, 2 damsels and a clown fish in a 180g and think it's enough fish... I tend to go lighter on the fish loads :D
 
i have a 6x3x30" tank and love it currently have a hippo naso yellow a hawk fish love the depth front to back and 30" to me is perfect for a display tank 320 gallons and i plan on about 20-25 fish by the end of it
