Sounds like a great setup to me. Good luck!

those should be okaycompatibility wise
ive heard many people have problems with pygmy angels though.
and you have a few fish there that will fit in your tank, but might get some size to them
what else are you planning on having?
equipment?
a few corals eh? what lighting do you have?
REMEMBER TO ADD THINGS SLOWLY!!!

i plan on moving slowly. no more than one a month. i am running two aqua clear 50 filters and a aquac remora protien skimmer. using coralife lighting, 2 65 watt strips. was thinking leather corals or mushroom polyps might be o.k.

I see a couple of potential problems.....
Hawkfish - you need to be careful having these with snails, shrimp, and hermits (especially if you have a reef & cleanup crew). Mildly aggressive fish, probably not reef compatible
Dwarf Angels- I'm not willing to risk a dwarf angel eating any of my corals, although I have considered it. Only add them to a well established tank
Yellow Watchman Goby- YAY! I have one and s/he's great!!!! Could potentially cause sand dunes throughout the tank as they get older though...mine doesn't (yet)
Wait, now that I think about, nearly every fish has it's ups and downs...pros and cons. Just make sure you know them before you impulse buy.
