Got your attention eh?? LOL!

I need some fish stocking ideas for my 120g tank. 48x24x24

I have a pair of picassos in there now.
Well, what are you looking for? Something unique, something that groups, a cave dweller, sanddweller, something big, something small, something eye catching and colorful, or something that blends in?

reef or fowlr? I have a 120 fowlr. in the tank now are

one spot foxface
yellow coris wrasse
melanurus wrasse
royal gramma
pair of black clowns
bengaii cardinal
scissortail dartfish
threadfin butterfly

going today to pick up a pearlscale bf and a flame angel. that should to it. imo, a 120 is too small for any trigger, and any tang except a yellow or kole.

I have that exact size tank and I have a Tomini, Two Bar Rabbit (really pushing the size limit) and multiple different groups of Fairy Wrasse, one Tomato Clown, and a Orange Spot Goby to keep the substrate stirred. If you go with larger fish you really need to consider a larger sump with refugium and a larger skimmer, the tank is right on that inbetween size for larger fish. I have had a Blue Jaw Trigger and Red Tail trigger in there when it was FOWLR and they really pushed the limits.

I got to see a majestic angel in person not too long ago. Really caught my attention.

It's not really an option for me with my 50g, but it might be nice to try one in yours. :)

I know they get awfully big, but at least according to advancedaquarist.com they're slow growers so you could have it for a while.

Besides my favorite family of fish 'Tangs' I'd suggest a mixed group of Wrasses including Leopards, Flashers and Fairy such awesome fish without a downside (with covered tank)

Cheers, Todd

^^^^^That's got my vote as well.
