I am currently building a 36''x24"x24" tank. i like most fish so i am interested in getting fish that will be helpful in upkeep of the reef as well as to look at. so if you know how many and of what kind of fish to buy it would be helpful.
 
I would suggest you look at different areas of your tank and different swimming styles and go from there. A scooter dragonet, shrimp goby or jawfish for the lower part of the tank. Clowns, wrasses etc. for the water column. Blennies, etc. for a percher.

Also, think about color and behavior. And what you like. Since you have a brand new tank, I would suggest finding a single fish that you are absolutely in love with and building your stock list around accommodating that fish. You have a lot of options with those tank dimensions. If you go with all small fish, you could have quite a few.

Good luck.
