I started my 75g w/ 20g sump early July with 95lbs. of dry rock with 10lbs. of live, 90lbs. of dry sand with 10lbs. live, yesterday I added 1/2lb. of chaeto to the sump.The tank finished cycling a few weeks ago. Right now the only inhabitants are 3 Turbo snails and Scarlet Skunk Cleaner shrimp. I do plan on adding an anemone and some easy corals later when the tank is more mature.

The QT should be done cycling soon so here's my intended fish list:

A pair of clowns (Ocellaris)
Flame or Coral Beauty Angel fish
Royal Gramma
Firefish
Wrasse (don't know what kind yet, open to suggestions)
Mandarin Dragonet (once the pod population is enough to support it)
and maybe some schooling fish like 2 or 3 Chromis.

I want to get the first fish into the QT as soon as it cycles, so which should I start with?
