Ideal Stocking Order?

[Princess Hockey]

I'm wondering what the most ideal stocking order is for my tank. 100g, 15g sump.

Currently have 2 ocellaris, 10 snails, 20 hermits. 2 small frags.

Planning on lots of frogspawn and softies, zoas, LPS, yellow tang, sixline wrasse, blenny, goby, those are the only for-sures. Deciding between coral beauty and flame angel. Would like to add an urchin. I expect I'll need to add more clean up crew as I go. Haven't totally figured out my entire fish stocking plan, but not planning on anything that's supposed to be difficult or require expert level experience...but I keep hearing things like "add that fish last" so I'm wondering what the safe order to go about is.

My QT will be ready in a few days...still getting the parameters right on it and letting the filter media hang out in my sump. My tank doesn't have a lid yet (just a lip), I've ordered it but will take at least a week to arrive.

Do I go adding coral? Focus on fish next? One fish at a time or can I QT 2 from the same place at the same time?

IMO
I would add fish first then focus on coral .
For adding 2 fish at once it depends on the fish and how much they affect the bio load.

Blenny / goby could probably happen at the same time, Tang on his own, Angel on its own?

Provided your QT tank is large enough, if you see two “must have” fish at your LFS, get them, but be prepared to do very frequent water changes in your QT at least until you finally are ready to move one into your DT. Then let the remaining fish hang out alone in your QT for a week or two until you think the DT is ready for the bioload from the second fish (depending on the size/anticipated increased feeding). I sometimes do this to a) not see a nice fish I want sold to someone else, and b) shorten a few weeks off quarantining one fish, and then another in sequence. Hope this suggestion helps.
