Stocking a 75!

[blackout12]

Hello everyone! I was wondering what all i could put in a 75 gallon reef with a 20 gallon sump! I really would like to do a tang if possible, many a bristle tooth like a kole, flame tip, or some other kind of bristle tooth and i was wondering if i would be able to do a yellow or purple tang maybe? I have been lookignaround liveaquaria and here is the stocking list that i have gathered that i like but i would like your opinions beore i buy any fish. So here it is!
2-3 Bangaii Cardinals
2-3 blue green chromis
1 longnose hawkfish
either 1 royal gramma or 1 black cap basslet
1 ocellaris clown
2-3 firefish
1 courtjester goby
1 neon goby
1 carpenter wrasse or if anyone has a good recomendation for wrasses let me know
1 bristletooth tang
1 yellow or purple tang
1 One spot foxface, live aquaria said they can be put in a 75 but i am not 100% on that
1 Algae blenny or horned blenny ( havent really done much research on these guys yet)
And if i have any more space a dwarf angel, a type of dottyback, or a mandarin.
I know this is probably over stocked but just let me know what i can do to down size if i need too! Thank you!

The firefish and Chromis are likely to end up as one of each. Chromis I think are more likely to live together. Yellow and Purple both have minimums larger than your tank on liveaquaria. Only the One Spot Foxface is recommended with a minimum of 70 gallons on liveaquaria. But that doesn't make any sense since each of the other colorations of the same fish need a 125. From personal experience I would never put a Foxface in a 75, but up to you. The Bristletooth will chase around the Algae Blenny, they're after the same food.

I would skip the tangs and the fox face.
Otherwise, stock list looks good.
You probably want to get just two cardinals, if you get three, and two of them pair up, they may try to kill the third.
We have a dwarf angel, a flame-potters hybrid, that I love. A Pygmy, multicolor, or flame would do well in that size tank. They can nip at corals, so keep that in mind.
For wrasses, some of the flashers are really nice and would do well in a 75. I like mccoskers and carpenters. You can consider the smaller fairy wrasses as well. Rhomboids are really pretty, So are labouts and mystery.
For interesting behavior, you can consider a group of barnacle bennies.

Why do you say that about the firefish and chromis? I saw the yellow and purple tangs needed a bigger tank but then people tell me i can put them in a 75 gallon but that is minimum so i was just wondering about them. I was wondering the same thing about the foxface that is why i put him on here, it seems like all the foxfaces need a bigger tank and i didnt really think you could put one in a 75. Now couldnt i do atleast one type of bristletooth tang? Maybe a kole or tomini? I rather have a tang than a blenny to be honest with you. I dont really find blennys that interesting.
So could i do something like this?
2 Bangaii Cardinals
2 firefish
3 chromis
1 courtjester goby
1 carpenter wrasse
1 neon goby
1 ocellaris clown
1 royal gramma or black cap basslet
1 longnose hawkfish
1 kole, tomini, two spot bristletooth tang, or white tail bristletooth tang

That list sounds better. Regarding the firefish http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1995179. With the Chromis you might get lucky and not end up with one, is it worth the risk? I wouldn't put a Yellow Tang and especially a Purple tang in a 75. You just won't see their natural behavior with them being cramped and stressed. I had a Foxface in my old 90. He was always skittish mostly hiding in the rocks. In my 210 he eats out of my hand. Completely different fish. Why are you doing just one clown?

Ahhh i see, should i get three and then once i notice a mated pair just take the other one to my lfs? And yeah ive seen people say it is a good idea and other people say no so i think i am just going along the safe side and avoiding them for now. And i was put under the impression that the more dominant would bully the other? I wouldn't mind doing two, i think it would quite interesting really. Would this pretty much be my tank fully stocked?

I wouldn't try that with three, read http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=765929. You could wait for a true pair from Diver's Den, I don't remember seeing one though.

2 Bangaii Cardinals Fine so long as you get a heterosexual pair
2 firefish Must be a heterosexual pair to work out
3 chromis Likely to be one as time goes on, but you may be lucky and get two...
1 courtjester goby
1 carpenter wrasse
1 neon goby
1 ocellaris clown A single pair would work, be sure to get two that have a difference in size so the pairing goes a bit more smoothly
1 royal gramma or black cap basslet
1 longnose hawkfish Take caution if you want/plan to keep shrimp
1 kole, tomini, two spot bristletooth tang, or white tail bristletooth tang Any that you have listed here will work, just stick with one tang though.

My comments on your list can be seen above in blue.

Would you guys recommend me doing any more fish or would this be my full stocking? I would like a dwarf angel if possible or maybe something else too. I guess i will just take the firefish and chromis down to one since they disappear or kill each other off so often. I would like to have more of the same kind of fish but idk if i would be able to do that or not. Also, Could anyone suggest me an order to introduce my fish in?
