Looking to add to my 75g reef tank

So I have a 75 gallon reef tank that has been up and running for about a year and before that all the livestock and some of the rock and sand came from a smaller reef tank. I haven't added anything since moving to the bigger tank but am finally able to spend some extra $ to add.

Here is what I currently have:
Pair of Gold Stripe Maroon Clowns with host bubble tip anemone(2 nems was a big one that split when i transferred last year)
Yellow Watchman goby with pistol shrimp
various cuc
Banded Coral Shrimp
For Corals I have 2 big trees, button polyps, couple big mushrooms, Xenias
and a Duncan cluster

What I am looking to add is
1 Kole Tang
1 Dwarf Angel probably Coral beauty or flame( any suggestions? i love the flame but worried it will nip at my coral)
1 wrasse(not sure which)
1 Lawnmower Blenny(had one before move but rocks moved after and squished him)

I will also be adding more corals as I've upgraded my lights and want to get into some sps and lps

I have very good filtration tank is stable and healthy and I have my old Biocube set up as QT tank. My questions are: What order should I added them and what kind of time frame?I only plan on qting one fish at a time. Will they all get along(my maroons are not aggressive unless you put your hand a couple inches from the nem. Never been aggo to other fish I've had with them in the past)? Is that too much of a load in the tank?

Thanks in advance
 
I'm not an expert by any means but I think the biggest problem you'll have is the pair of maroons. I've heard they can get mean as they get older and especially when they are breeding.

As far as your stocking list both the angels and tang are algae grazers. In that size tank I'd think you'd only really have room for one or the other. As pretty as the dwarf angels are I would lean towards the tang. The dwarfs seem to be really hit or miss depending on the individual dwarf and type of corals you have. However those maroons might harass your tang when they get older.

With a wrasse you're going to need a lid on the tank or you'll make fish jerky.

If it were my tank I'd look into some fish that could hold their own and not get bullied. My 2 cents.
