Hey everyone -- My 72 gallon bowfront just finished cycling so I’m looking for stocking ideas.This is what I’ve got so far, open to any suggestions/additions as I'm new to saltwater:

2 ocellaris clownfish
1 bangaii cardinal (2 if I can find a male and female)
1 flame angel
1 royal gramma basslet
1-2 cleaner shrimp
 
You have a 72G, you could go with a Juvenile Yellow Tang, and a Kole Tang. The Kole gets about 7" in size, so not one of the larger fishes.

Just remember, just because you have finished cycling, you cannot started adding large ammonia load to the system, as it has to respond to that load by increasing its bacterial load to clear the ammonia, which takes time.

Best of luck.
