Nice size tank. Here's what I'd put in it
1 zebrascoma or bristle tooth tang
1 or 2 fairy wrasses
1or 2 halichoeres wrasses
1 royal gramma
1 goby
1 either dwarf or geni angel

Plus one other large fish like a rabbit or different tang.

Idk. I think it will be a mxed reef... I hope to have it Sps dominated. No angels for me... Been there done that.... I kinda want a sohawl tang and a yell and purple tang... Don't get mad I just like them. Uhhhhh yeah I can't decide what I want

sargassum trigger
sohawl tang
yellow tang
purple tang
trio of anthias
1 marron clown
1 ocellaris clown
yellow watchmen goby
straberry pseduchromis
6 chromis
Dragon goby

And this is just a trown together list... Not all of it would go in the tank... Also I have a 50 gallon sump....

It's a tough question to answer because it depends so much on your preferences. For example, I knew I wanted a powder blue tang so I planned my entire tank around him. I prefer keeping the number of fish to a minimum and adding them slowly. Not sure that answers the question
