New Tank Stocking Order and Compatibility

[Christeon]

I have a 75g reef tank more detailed specs are in my profile, Tank has cycled and tests the same for a week now. I have a list of potential fish to add to the tank and would some opinions on the which to add first which ones to stay away from or would have an adverse affect on the aquarium. I'm looking for a peaceful tank with everyone pretty much getting along. I don't plan to add all of these to this tank, I would like to keep the bio load down. If any of these are borderline for a 75g tank I'd like to remove them as well.

Green Chromis 2-3
Pair of true perculas
Bartlett Anthia
Lyretail Anthia
McCosker's flasher wrasse male
cantilina goby (water to warm?) 78-80
Yellow watchman goby
Midas Blenny
Carpenter's flasher wrasse
Longnose Hawkfish
Flame Hawkfish

I'd nix the Chromis as I find the dominant specimen tends to kill off the lesser Chromis over time. I'd also avoid mixing Anthias as they don't usually play nicely with one another. Same goes with the flasher wrasses. I'd get one male and one or two females instead. And lastly, the two hawkfish aren't going to get along either; Keep in mind hawkfish shrimps and crabs, so you won't be able to keep any of these.

I'd add the hawkfish (whichever you choose) last. Everything else can go in whatever order.

Green Chromis 2-3..... OK
Pair of true perculas........................OK
Bartlett Anthia.................................Later on
Lyretail Anthia.................................Later on
McCosker's flasher wrasse male...................Ok aggressive towards similar fish
cantilina goby (water to warm?) 78-80................. Water too warm
Yellow watchman goby............................OK
Midas Blenny ...................................OK semi-aggressive
Carpenter's flasher wrasse........................Same as the other FW
Longnose Hawkfish................................OK but will eat small crustaceans
Flame Hawkfish.....................................Aggressive eats small crustaceans too

The anthias IME do better in harem settings and require feedings through out the day, so keep that in mind. The wrasses are great reef fish , but you might encounter aggressiveness if you mix them up. Flame Hawkfishes are bullies, longnose not as much but is not unheard of. My other opinions are self-explanatory

Thanks for the great replies, can i mix the Anthias and the Flasher Wrasses? I had assumed the Yellow watchman goby and Midas Blenny would fight as well, is this not the case?

Pair of true perculas
Bartlett Anthia or Lyretail Anthia (3 harem style)
McCosker's flasher wrasse male or Carpenter's flasher wrasse
Yellow watchman goby or Midas Blenny
