Stocking List Advice for 125 g Mixed Reef

[mmodo]

Planning on starting a 125 g DT (72" x 18" x 21" approximate measurements), 55 g sump, 20 g QT system. I'm currently working on the plumbing of the system and not rushing through the process, but figured I would see if what I have in mind for a fish list makes sense. Granted, some of these fish would be added 1+ year into the system, just looking at total capacity by the end of the process. This will be a combined coral + fish tank. I'm mostly looking at softies and LPS for coral but I might branch out.

Planned Fish
Ocellaris Clowns (2)
Royal Gramma Baslett
Blenny - don't know what type yet, Midas or Algae?
Goby - don't know what type yet, Diamond or Yasha? I would wait until the system is more mature
Orchid Dottyback - I've heard mixed things about adding more than one in the same tank
Firefish - leaning towards 2 of them, but I'm not sure since they can be aggressive
Coral Beauty Angelfish - I've heard about putting a pair in but I'm unsure on that, I know they may nip at corals
Tang - don't know what type yet, Tomini or Two Spot or White Tail (only getting 1 Tang)

Fish I'm on the Fence About
Wrasse - I've heard mixed things about getting them, thinking of a singular Fairy, Melanurus, or Carpenter's?
Anthias - they seem to require a lot of space and a group, I'm afraid that I might not have the space for them. I would lean towards 4 of them, either Lyretail or Disbar.
Mandarin Dragonette - concerned about feeding requirements but wouldn't get until 1+ year out

I'm also unsure about the order to start putting them in. The aggressive fish are more straightforward on the order but I'm unsure about what to start with for the first 4-6 fish I stock. I know it's common to put Clownfish in first but I'm worried they might get aggressive about territory if some more docile fish come later. The Firefish, Dottyback, and Royal Gramma seem safe for the first fish but I want to verify before getting them.

Everything looks fine

Everything looks good to me. Lyertail anthias, I had 4 females and one male in this same size tank and they were fine

Is it safe to say that dottyback, firefish, and CB angels should be kept as singles? I've read a lot about having more than one and the answer seems to be YMMV based on the fish you get.

Does it make sense to stock the dottyback, firefish, and royal gramma before the clownfish?

No, I would put the dottyback in dead last to be honest. Mean little fish! There is a chance that dottyback may not like the firefish and gramma and go after them though

My dottyback goes toe to toe with my sohal tang if he goes near her area. Doesnt phase him at all and he will go after her but she holds her ground. I havnt seen her in a few days though so Im thinkin mr sohal got sick of her crap and offed her. Saltwater fish for you
