This is for the 180l, right? (has image of squishing all those fish into a 23l cup 
)
If so, I love rummy noses...but, they're known as indicator fish, i.e. they are generally very intolerant of poor water conditions. When they aren't happy their rummy nose just becomes a nose, they lose all the colour. So I'd put ten in as the first fish, as long as you monitor the water parameters really well. Follow that up with another ten a couple of weeks later (you're doubling the bioload, so careful attention to water parameters, with appropriate water changes).
Platinum angels really not appropriate for this tank, too small and wrong mix of other fish (they'll eventually eat them).
The apistos will be ok until they spawn then there'll probably be trouble.
Plecs are poo machines so need to go in when the tank is well established. And I'll leave the compatibility issue to someone who actually has kept them.
