    Coral hogfish

    Japanese golden hawkfish (if I can find one)

    Marine betta

    Blue spotted toby puffer

    Harlequin tusk

    Red-lined wrasse

    Tear drop butterflyfish

    Snowflake eel

    Caribbean blue tang

    Bamboo cat shark

    I feel like it's going over quite a bit, but I've never owned anything greater than a 29, so... I'm not completely sure. The Harlequin Tusk is a beautiful fish, definitely get one.

    Dimensions?
    I would get the shark off the list, they get BIG ( over 30in) and most 220's are either 24, 30, or 36in wide IIRC so the shark wouldn't have enough width IMO.

    Think I could keep the shark till he doesn't seem happy? I've seen them successfully kept in small 125 gal. As middle age ones.

    I would drop the cat shark since they get so big and are extremely hard to take care of. It would also be harder to aquascape with them. They are extremely sensitive to parameters as well and in small words big fish have big poop. I would then choose a volitan lion fish over a fuzzy dwarf since you have the tank size to host one. other then that, I cant wait to follow along :)

    way too much imo. I have a 125 with 8 fish and its pretty strained. My fish also dont get half the size as most of yours.
