Hi everyone,
After loosing most of my fish for unknown reasons.... and waiting for a month. I'm ready to start to re-stock the tank again and I'm looking for suggestions..

I have a SCA 150 5x2x2 and all the parameters are withing the recommended range except ALK at 7.7 I will start dosing tomorrow At this time I have few corals like ZOA's, Acans, frogspawn, tube coral, BTA and favia.

At this time I have:
1 purple tang
2 snowflake clown
1 file fish
1 firefish

Now the wish list at this time
Yellow belly blue tang or Powder blue tang
One spot Foxface
McCosker Flasher Wrasse
Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
Starcki Damsel (school)
Azuro Damsel (school)
yellow banded possum

Any suggestions? All recommendations welcome!

I would say that the tank may be a but small for a hippo tang, but people do it. I've seen res head salon fairy wrasses be jerks to other wrasses, but it's a good size tank you should be alright, but I would probably add it after the other wrasses.

I will take that into consideration, thank you!

Agreed on the Hippo. Minimum of 6 feet in length if you want to keep one long term. The Wrasses look good, and people will disagree with me, but I have found the Red Head Salon Fairy Wrasse to be a jerk (mine was a butthead and everyone I have seen at my various LFS has been aggressive to at least some of it's tank mates). I would go with a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse over the Red Head Salon. Also be aware that the Purple Tang may be a bully to the new tank mates.
