Another Newbie 75 g stocking

Hi all,

I have started a 75g reef tank and I am starting to slowly stock my tank.

The tank is about 3 months past the cycle

I currently have:
2 small clowns
1 orchid dottyback
1 purple fire fish

I have tons of live rock and the orchid dotty back and fire fish have not shown themselves since I've added them-dottyback 2 weeks - fire fish 2 days but that's another problem lol.

I'm considering my future stocking and I'm looking for suggestions for more open water swimmers or schooling type fish. I know fish don't aactually always school in aquaria but I'm looking for a group...

Any recommendations for number of fish to add and types would be greatly appreciated! Keeping in mind I'm a beginner. I'm also limited to what is available in Ontario Canada.

Additional info:
20 g sump (I may be upgrading this to a 35 g already so I can have a fuge)
Reef octopus skimmer
1 cleaner shrimp
7 snails (2 types)
2 hermit crabs
1 small red mushroom
1 small finger leather
Using RO/DI water
Orbit marine 48" LED
I plan on keeping low light LPS, leathers, mushrooms and polyps

Thanks guys!
 
Trio of wrasses maybe. Flashers and fairys are cool.

Trio of anthias will also work.

Otherwise 4-5 Springer damsels. Most peaceful of all the damsels.
 
If I go with the 4 fish above

2 green clown gobies
3 chromis
1 potters angel or coral beauty

Would that be over stocked?
 
Even the common blue-green chromis? I've read lots of good things about keeping them in groups... If you have a different experience its great to know about it! I appreciate your advice!
 
Yip. Even the common ones. Started with 11. Became 5. They lived together for a few months. Then I had one.
