Looking for some stocking ideas for my 75gal

[mcdrichj]

So I have a 75 gal tank and I would like opinions please. Its a mixed reef (I'm slowly adding corals). Before this I had a 15 gal nano so I'm relatively new to having a bigger salt tank. Currently everyone gets along very well and I would like to keep it this way. This is why I am looking for your help!

Current stock list
2 - Ocellaris Clownfish (pair)
1 - Watchman Goby
1 - Tail Spot Blenny
1 - White tail tang
1- Lineatus Fairy Wrasse

inverts
2 - Cleaner Shrimp
3 - Tiger Conch
several bumblebee snails
several cerith snails
several limpets
2 - Halloween hermit crabs

I like watching my school of chromis in my 75. I have 5 and have had them for about a year and a half now with no fighting issues. Just need to keep them well fed and have swimming space.

Chromis, any of the more peaceful damsels (most Pomacentrus, Neopomacentrus, and Chrysiptera sp), more fairy wrasses (rhomboidalis, lubbocki, katherinae, briangreenei, rubeus, isosceles, brunneus, etc), smaller Halichoeres wrasses (iridis, chrysus), and leopard wrasses (meleagris, marisrubri, bipartitus, negrosensis) would all make excellent additions.

Cardinalfish also look great, and a few are easily available captive bred. Look at Pterapogon kauderni, Sphaeramia nematoptera, Zoramia leptacantha, and Apogon cyanosoma. The first 2 do better in pairs, from what I have experienced in my tanks, while the other 2 actively school with each other if kept in groups.

So my wife and I couldn't stay away from the hobby. I used to have a few different tanks, a 380 gallon FOWLR, a 180 gallon FOWLR, a 187 gallon FOWLR, a 75 gallon FOWLR, 13.5 gallon macro tank and a 110 gallon reef. After moving and having some various issues (stand broke on the 110 gallon reef...
