Looking for tank mate suggestions

I've been reading through the old messages to find out what all everyone thinks about Pink Tales and what other fish could be kept with them. Now I think a Pink Tale Trigger will be the main fish in my tank if i get one and set it up. Looking for something in the range of 125-150 or so. I'm going to list a few other fish I'd be interested in and would like some feedback on whether they might be compatable.
Sailfin Tang
Harliquin Tusk
Dwarf Lionfish
Eel - type??
Anglefish - type??
Larger wrasse
would also like to attempt some types of inverts.. I know most of these guys would eat them but what about starfish, lobsters, and large hermits?
Any suggestions for other different fish are welcome.. I'd like to hear all thoughts.
 
until you mentioned the inverts any of those would work with a pinktail trigger I think. The lion is the only iffy, and while I personally havent had a problem of triggers nipping at lions, I know other people say they have.
The inverts throw a whole new set of options.

Thanks for the input... I have a lot of time to think about it.. Just thought a sailfin would be nice. I seen one the other day that was about 3 to 4 inches thick.. My 55 can't house anything like that. Yea i figure most of those guys would eat the inverts. Still would like to focus on the pink tail. So I might go with an angle, pink tail, eel, tusk and maybe a sailfin tang. I'll keep looking and see what i see out there. Just have to get away from the reef tank i have.. but would still love to put some other critters in there.
Thanks

For these FOLR tanks what all does everyone use for filtration, and lighting? I'm running my 55 reef with nothing but a fuge and a prizm skimmer. I would imagine that i'd go with either NO or VHO lights on a tank like this but what about filtration? Large sump with a fuge and large skimmer? Or wet/dry filter system.
