Gee, this list looks real familiar. 
Potters are tough to acclimate and get eating. They prefer a well established reef environment. I don't think they'll do well in the group you have listed.
It's also a pretty heavy bioload. Based on my own personal tastes, I'd lose the pinktail trigger.

You could do a heniochus butterfly
Triggerfishes introduction. Prone to spitting water out of the tank top to attract possible treats. Be sure to cover any open wiring.
I thought I would look up all your fish...I guess it looks good you know the trigger and emperor are going to be the dominate fish? The potters are a little tricky right?
How are you going to cover the tank?
Looking at the bioload make sure you really have a good sized skimmer. That would be the one bit criticism/observation.
Really nice mix of fish though I will give you credit.

I might just have this stocklist, and I plan on having a good skimmer. Thanks, JRWHOLER for chekcing out this thread, you seem to always post on mine, and I'd just like to say "thanks."
Stocklist Probably is going to be this:
>> 1-Yellow Tang
>> 1-Blue Throat Triggerfish
>> 2-3 Butterflies (Need help chosing Species.)
>> 1-Milaris Eel
>> 1-Harlequin Tuskfish
>> 1-Emperor Angelfish
>> 1-Kole Tang

Your very welcome...I don't know as much as a lot of folks but my approach is to research as much as I can when I find a question I find interesting and post what I find that might be useful. I did the same thing with my most recent fish purchase so I like the thread. I also like it because there are a lot of fish that I really cannot have with a mixed reef.

some of my suppliers have had super healthy red sea semi-lavartus butterfly's nice and fat and eating frozen foods,though this is not the norm for any b-fly most seem to have some kind of glitch in life.Hawaiian raccoons have also been doing well this season just make sure none of them come from Bali.

Bali fish are very hit or miss with health,some regions there did and still do chemical collection on fish,although illegal it's still happening. red-sea and hawaii are more money but well worth it,don't get me wrong I've seen and had bali fish do very well one example moorish idols from bali never eat and starve within weeks in tanks hawaiian idols can last indefinitely they eat almost anything put into the tank.These are just some thoughts to keep in mind.
1. I'm 14, so they think I have no business with saltwater tanks.
2. They think I know nothing because of their opinion listed in number 1.
3. I was asking questions they couldn't ask about the particular leopard wrasse.
4. I just don't like the high prices, so I thought I should have a good look around seeing as how all of the costs so much, so I thought I should look around, I really like looking at their nice display tanks.
5. It was close to closing when they paid me.
Oh, and I've also decided to update the stocklist:
>> 1-Purple Tang
>> 1-Blue Throat Triggerfish
>> 2-Semilarvatus Butterfly Fish
>> 1-Milaris Eel
>> 1-Harlequin Tuskfish
>> 1-Emperor Angelfish
>> 1-Kole Tang
I changed to a Purple Tang, as I wanted to have that particular pair of butterflies, and they are similar in shape and coloration to a yellow tang, so I was fearful that there would be a fight. I would like to add a final fish, of a different variety than the others, to finish off this list. Any suggestions would be highly welcomed.
Thanks,
Steve

The only reason I take long is that I don't trust any of the people there, well, that are usually there. I wouldn't trust a kid close to my age for a second. + It always seems that the kids working there don't pay any attention to me or something. I always have to get help from the front desk and ask for Todd, or this other guy (forgot his name). Anyone have any opinions on the tank stock?
