Order of livestock introduction

[cobray]

Starting a reef tank is IMHO like building an ecosystem from the ground up.
Right now I'm cycling and growing bacteria.
I plan on adding a variety of pods and some Phytoplankton next.
After they are established, some clean up crew such as snails.
Then corals and finally fish.
Is this a good order to go in and have I missed any steps?
TIA for any replies!

Normally I would do fish before corals. However, You have an opportunity here to add corals and CUC at the same time, wait 76 days, and then start adding fish.

I go fish before corals as well. I was going to add my CUC before the fish but, at this point, it won't be necessary until I'm feeding the fish in the display. I just don't see enough algae growth to support a fully stocked CUC at this point in my situation.
