Fish list for 45 Cube

As I'm getting my new tank setup, I'm trying to put together a wishlist of reef-safe fish. I'm really hoping to have many small fish that are active with a variety of colors. Not sure what a good number would be to stick to.

Are there any good suggestions as to what I should look for? Right now, I have Neon Goby, Clownfish, Spotted Cardinal, and Tail Spot Blenny. This is just a quick list I made using liveaquaria, but I'd love to hear some other suggestions.

My goal is to get my most of my fish quarantined and in the tank up front and just add corals down the road.
 
Another option would be a Possum Wrasse. Depending on which specific fish you chose, you are looking at between 5-7 smaller fish IMO.
 
So I received my first fish for the tank. Went with a neon goby and a firefish. Also picked up a skunk cleaner that is small as well. Think they will be good additions to the DT. All seem in good health so far and although the neon goby is tiny, think it will be a good addition.

Ordered from reefs2go and was very uncertain about them as there were mixed reviews, but so far I'm pleased with the experience. One item was BO'd, so I'm thinking of adding a couple more items for when it ships. I'd like to do a clown, maybe some type of omnivore/algea eating fish (lawnmower blenny), and maybe a couple smaller colorful and active fish.

I've checked out the other recommendations, but wondered if there are any others I'm missing. Thanks for the advice so far.
