Stocking list for WB 65.4

[KariT0327]

Hello! I am anxiously awaiting for my new Black Friday Waterbox 65.4 (48" long) to arrive and in the meantime I am driving myself crazy thinking about all the things I can do with it. I am planning a mixed reef tank with mainly softies and LPS with a few hardy SPS. I am a beginner upgrading from an IM 15 since August but I have been enjoying researching this hobby since January. I'm extremely indecisive but I would like to have a stocking list pretty set so I can aquascape to meet my future fish needs. I have the following fish on my list and would like your thoughts on what to take off or swap out, and in what order to add.

3 wrasses (I thought I read somewhere to either get 1 or 3, I can go to 1 if that is better; more than likely some type of fairy, flasher and one other type)
Coral Beauty or Lemon Peel
Mandarin from Biota
Springerie Damsel
Indigo or Orchid or Fridmani Dottyback
an Anthia
Tomini Tang (I would rather have more smaller fish than fewer larger fish, so I can easily let this one go if it won't fit)
Molly Miller or Lawnmower Blenny
Engineer Goby
Diamond Goby

Thanks for any suggestions from you wise folks!

Careful adding 3 fairy wrasses. I just tried to add a second fairy wrasse and my older wrasses would not stop bullying the new fairy. I had to take it back to the store a week later because I feared it was going to die otherwise.

So if you can get them all at once and if they have been sharing the tank as the LFS, your chances would be better for them to get along.

Thank you for that suggestion! What are your other wrasses?

Only the rosy scale fairy wrasse and a cleaner wrasse until I just tried to add the second fairy wrasse. It was an exquisite fairy wrasse. The rosy scale was probably twice the size, and it just constantly chased the exquisite whenever it was not hiding in the rock.
