Hey I want to get some new saltwater fish.?

I have a 40 gallon reef tank and I already have two small colonies of polyps and 2 small mushrooms on a rock and i will eventually get more corals, as you know corals are no fun without fish. I know some fish have to be put in before or after others or they will fight, I need to know the order I should put the fish from this list in. Blue Hamlet, Bi color Anthias (3 female, 1 male), Sunrise Dottyback, Copper banded butterfly fish, Fishers Angel fish, Potter’s Angel fish Multi barred Angel fish (couldn’t make up my mind so feel free to chose for me), mating pair Maroon clowns (preferably gold striped maroons), a mating pair of Scott’s Fairy Wrasse(female first then buy the mail), Midas Blenny and Radall”s shrimp Goby, maybe some cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs. If your wondering im going to put them in at least a week apart, and if you are wondering where im getting my money from, I work at the saltwater fish and garden store so i get good discounts. Help me if you can by giving me the order of which I should put them in. Thanks!

Breeding brine shrimp?

Last year I bought a packet of brine shrimp eggs. (To feed freshwater fish) Now that I have a marine tank (65gallon with 4 percula clowns and small corals)(it’s fully matured so now i’m starting to add corals) Will brine shrimp lay eggs in the tank. Last time I fed my percula clowns brine shrimp was last week and last night after I turned off the light and looked into my tank with a small torch I could see some brine shrimp swimming around.
Will they breed themselves? Or is there anyway to promote breeding? I want them for the perculas and coral.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Live food- Brine Shrimp?

How can I make sure my percula clownfish get to baby brine shrimp before the filter does. My clowns just don’t seem to notice the shrimp so usually they drift towards the filter inlet and get eaten by my filter.

Would I be pushing my SW limits? (stocking question)?

I’ve had my aquarium for about 6 months now, its a 45-50g aquarium which is a FOWLR set up. The inhabitants include a pair of false clowns, a canary wrasse, scooter blenny (fat off of brine shrimp), a brown clown goby, and a green spotted puffer. Poor puffer, his growth is stunted from his previous 10g tank so he’s just a bit bigger than the female clown. I reaaaaaaally want a dwarf angelfish (cherub preferably) and want to make sure I’m not pushing the limits of my tank.

However! I do have a really wonderful skimmer (gets full after 3 days), a biowheel filter, and a homemade sump in the works for all those lovely pods and added filtration. I wish I just had $100k to dedicate to fish, however… life sucks! Doesn’t work that way. I’m pretty sure a Dwarf Angel would be fine, if I got one thats roughly 2″ max. Opinions? I’m stricken with “I WANT ALL OF THEM” sickness, I suppose!
