Well I am tring to figure out what to stock my 220 high 72x24x30 with.

I would like to have
1 blue angelfish
1 gray dogface puffer

not sure what else --- possible chooses I have been looking at are

1 Picasso trigger
1-2 Raccoon butterfly fish
1 Threadfin butterfly fish
1 scopas tang

I am looking to keep 4-5 fish in my 220 (Not all of the fish above).

Also has anyone raised a Blue angel? Its probably as close to a Queen angel as I will get due to her size.
 
What about a Harlequin Tusk...or a nice lion...like a Radiata or something.

Are you doing a 'fish only' or a FOWLR tank?
Do you plan on keeping any inverts?
 
Love me some triggers!
 
The safest trigger in a community tank will be the pink tail triggers...try to order one out of hawaii since they tend to be the prettier ones....also if interested in trigger fish you might want to look at the boomerang trigger out of hawaii as well. Stars and Stripes puffers are also really nice...with 220 galons you could pull off a clown trigger if you introduce him last and he is your smallest fish.
 
triggers wont bug your other fish if you put them last in the tank, wrasses are a good choice as well, if you are doing a puffer go ahead and go with a trigger because a puffer fish voids the option for star fish and shrimp. A really nice trigger is the blue throat <male> those look nice, so do sargassam triggers. keep in mind the angels you are talking about are picky eaters, I would personally go with a french angel they are more hardy than the queens and blue.
