Its possible with 5 yellow tangs they might have some problems with aggression. Other than that you have a pretty good stock list. I'd maybe think about changing the 5 yellow tails for a species of chromis just out of aggression once again. But at the same rate in a 225 they might be fine. Good luck with the tank.

Sorry, I don't mean to change the topic. But I saw the funniest thing at my LFS the other day. I saw 2 small Hippos schooling with some green Chromis. It was so cute.

Its a little uncommon with some chromis but often in the wild Acanthurids (surgeonfish) for schools with other fish for protection. Usually I've seen them with parotfish but not chromis as of yet. You can see their behavior change when in a school and not. They dont seem to mind about the territorial damsels as much. It'd be nice to have this happen in a tank though.
Good on ya
