I'm getting to the that point where I feel confident that my tank can safely house some fish. I have a standard 75 gallon mixed reef. Here's my list

Kole Tang
Pair of Ocellaris Clowns
Starry Blenny
Dartfish (not sure which one yet)
Dwarf Angel (Lemon or Flame)
Down the line I'd like to add a Ruby Red dragonet, but my tank isnt ready yet

So how does this list look? Too much? Just right? Compatiblity issues?

I can do without the dwarf angel if this is too much, and I'd rather be understocked than overstocked. Also is it possible to keep more than 1 fire/dart/tile fish? Or is it only ok if they are a pair?
 
Looks good :) I overstock my 75, but your list is good :)
 
Looks about right.
My flame angel destroyed my scolys and scans so it went.
In my 75g I stock
1x mimic tang
2x occ clownfish
3x chromis (Will get more)
1x bicolour Benny
1x lawnmower Benny
1x engineer goby
1x mcullochi dottyback
1x hooded fairy wrasse
1x blueside wrasse (Will give to someone when I find another stunning Lineatus at ok price)
 
Sometimes, kole tangs and starry blennies HATE each other. This goes for any bristletooth tang and any lawnmower type blenny.

Some dartfish can be mixed. I have been told scissor tail and zebra are okay. Firefish don't tolerate each other well if not paired.
 
Your list sounds good. My Kole tang is a cleaning machine. Algae doesn't stand a chance. And good luck with the Ruby red dragonette. If I can ever keep a healthy enough pod population, that will be next on my list. They're AWESOME!
 
Zebra Dartfish are great. I have two in a IM Lagoon 50. In a 75 you could do a small school.
