stock list for a new 55g

[dchec2100]

Hello.... thanks to reading countless threads (this board is freakin sweet), I think I know what I want to stock once my tank is fully cycled. Would this work? (with 3-4 weeks in between each addition)
2 perc clows, then
1 yellow tang, then
either (in order of preference):
1 spiney box puffer or
1 porcupine puffer or
1 lionfish (some sort of dwarf I think).
I know some don't like the tang in a tank that small, but I'll be upgrading to a 125g within a year or so.
Also, what sort of clean up crew would work with the above? It's a FOWLR setup.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan

Most puffers and the yellow tangs are going to out grow your tank. I have the same size tank and thats what I read when searching for my fish stock. The porcupine puffer is going to grow up to 1 to 2 feet.

2 perc clows, then- good
1 yellow tang, then- nope gets to big
1 spiney box puffer or- nope gets too big
1 porcupine puffer or- nopoe gets too big
1 lionfish (some sort of dwarf I think).- should be fine but CANT be kept with small fish like clowns
try thinking of smaller community fish, like dottybacks, clowns, blennys, gobies
