Close to Starting the Stocking Process

So I have a 75 gallon long tank setup and the parameters have settled. I've added a few hermits and a couple turbos. I've got a 20 gal sump with a filter sock, reef octo 110-int, no reactor/gfo/chaeto or anything yet, we'll see how it goes. Also about 2" sand bed of small crushed coral and 70 lbs of live rock. I'd like some fish (a few specific ones I'll list), and some soft coral and LPS eventually. I'm currently only running one Jebao PP-8 pwrhead which seems to move the water around just fine at half power and 3 aquaray ultra reef white LEDs. Lemme know if I'm crazy or other thoughts you may have por favor:

- 1 maybe 2 Occ Clowns
- 1 Banngai Cardinal (aquabred of course)
- 1 yellow tang
- 1 yellow watchman and tiger pistol combo
- 1 diamond goby - can i add him? I like the sand sifting action
- 1 skunk cleaner eventually

As for coral, I don't know of a lot of em yet at this point, but think the kenya trees, GSP, Acans, frogspawn are all pretty cool.

I'd like to stay away from the zoas and palys. I know if you're careful it's no big deal, but I just don't want any chance.

Other thoughts on fish/coral? I'd like something bright blue. Obviously a blue hippo would be cool, but I think I've read enough that I'm not gonna put one in my tank. Thanks all.:beer:
 
And no I don't plan on adding everything even remotely close together, just talking eventual stocking. I feel like I've lurked enough here to be in the ballpark I hope, just looking for expert opinions. I've done a fair amount of freshwater in the past, but this is my first SW.
 
Yeah, I forgot to add I'd like to get him real small then take him back to the LFS in a couple years. That work?
