No need for both filters, but you can't really over filter. The 110 should be plenty tho with a few power heads for flow. No hippo tang tho the tank isn't big enough. The trigger is iffy, they have been know to nip spines off lions.
If I can suggest a few fish. Try a dwarf lion, blue throat trigger, Fox face, sharp nose puffer. With these fish you could add other fish aswell, maroon clown, dwarf angle ,ect
