Thank you in advance!

I have had this setup for over a month (I did the fishless cycle) and and we currently we have a pair of clownfish and a red scooter blenny (tank raised eating pellets / frozen food). They have been in there for a week and I wanted to get an idea of when and what order to add the next fist. We are not planning on adding corals anytime soon.

I love the activity and look of Wrasses some of my favorites are:

Yellow Wrasse
Melanurus Wrasse
Christmas Wrasse
Flasher Wrasses
Open to other suggestions

Tangs - I know I am limited by size but any other suggestions (only adding 1):

Kole Tang
Tomini Tang?

Goby:

Diamond Goby
Other suggestions?

Blenny:

Starry Blenny
Other Suggestions?

Dwarf Angel:
Coral Beauty (Wife really wants this one)

Others:
Longnose Hawk
Flame Hawkfish
Firefish
Orchid Dottyback

I guess it would help if I told you the tank size - 72 gallon bowfront - 33 gallon sump (RSK 300 Skimmer in there now):

Sweet looking tank!
 
Any advice on what to add next, order to add fish, and how much longer to wait?
