Stocking for a 180 gallon tank

I have a 180 gallon tank with 160 lbs of fiji island live rock. I had it just to where I wanted it when a power outage and an onset of ich cleaned out my five fish that I had. I am now waiting for the ich to run through the system so that I can get the tank back to where I would want it. I was hoping that I could stock these fish.
Juvenile Imperator Angel
Red Sea Sailfin Tang
Blue Line Trigger or Clown Trigger (only one of these two)
Niger Trigger or Blue Throat Trigger (only one of these two)
Can anyone give me some advice as to if any of the above combinations will work, if not, some suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

Skip the blue line, or clown trigger. I would add both the blue throat, and niger trigger. These are a little more docile.
Other than that I would just make sure that you keep in mind that the tang, and angel, require good water quality. It's tuff to keep water quality high in aggressive setups.
I'd also add an eel of some sort.

i have a testellata and green moray in my 180 gallon and i think there the best. a lot of fun at feeding time.
but you have to keep up with water changes
also eels rarely get ick

I agree on skipping the Blue Line or Clown Trigger. The blue chine and niger triggers tend to be mellower. I have a three blue chin school (one male two females) in my 180 with a Sailfin and Purple Tang. No problems yet. You may also consider a cross hatch trigger, mellow and can school (schooling triggers is always risky).
