Throw out stocking ideas!! Veteran experience would be great here!

I would love your ideas on a stocking list for my 54 gallon tank. I has a sump but no skimmer yet and one fish that is a necessity is either a coral beauty dwarf angel or a flame dwarf angel. Also, I know that there is very little possibility in this, but if it is at all possible, I would also love to have a kind of tang in the tank (yellow tang or Kole tang are the two I was looking at). Thank you for any ideas!

Do you want coral if so I would possibly avoid the angels because they are known to eat coral however I am 14 now and I have had an angelfish for 2 years in a reef with no problems but I know that I am lucky. Tangs you should always add last because they could be territorial to newcomers. Also have you considered some nice wrasse?

I will try to do some corals after I get my tank established but from my research I think that those two angles that I listed should be pretty ok with corals and inverts.
