Can definitely understand that. All the fish you have listed are smaller, so one or two larger fish will be fine. Foxface are a nice addition. My husband will have no part of one since it's venomous, he just doesn't want to deal with it, we get bit by enough of our fish as it is.
What type of foxface are you looking at?

I was thinking the One Spot. Not a fan of the Bi Color. Looks bland. Then again, hard to tell with out seeing one in person.
Also, I've decided to change the tank and lights. I'm going to buy the new one with the dual overflows. I'd only save about $100 with that used one and the hob overflow. Mine as well spend it and have all new. I'm going to build my stand and a canopy. I guess I'm going to have to buy ballists and bulbs. I'd like to have what we found, the T5HO, if they come ballast only. Can't remember the brand. What do you think?

You may be better off.
If you buy new, they almost always come with bulbs. You won't save much going with just ballasts. I might be getting rid of my Nova's very soon since a LFS guy we know has a bigger setup that we light, let me know if you're interested.

My husband or I will FB you sometime this weekend. His grandmother is here from FL for the next few days, so we have to entertain. We're waiting for the guy to give us a price on what he wants for his setup. I know he's going to be selling all his T5HO setups slowly over the next 6-9 months as he upgrades to LED setups on each of his tanks. I'll keep you updated.
