I believe I'm done adding fish in my 240 tank (now an in-wall tank in the basement).

Here is the final list:
volitan lionfish
dogface puffer
orbicular cardinal (nicknamed "Lunch", someday the lion will probably get him but they've been together close to 3 years now)
blue-throat trigger (male)
lunare wrasse
juvenile imperator angel
Red sea purple tang

There are no signs of aggession from any of them; and all are eating well.

here are pics:

I don't remember where I got the cardinal - I've had it for about 4 years. I got it cause I was having a lot of problems when the 240 was first set up; any fish I put in there were dying even though the water always tested perfectly. So anyway I needed a cheap fish to use to test the water; I didn't want a yellow tang or damsels that turn mean and that's what I found. It may have come from Just About Fish.

The blue throat trigger and the lunare wrasse came from Gerbers. Lion fish was from Jack's; Purple tang from Aquatics & Exotics, emperor angel from Wet Pets. I don't remember where I got the puffer.
