How many fish can I add at the same time?

Hi-

After months of dealing with a pesky Majano anenome problem, I've decided to tear down the tank and start over with brand new cured rock. I've only had 3 fish in a 75 gallon due to the territoriality of the established population (specifically the Purple Tang and Maroon Clown). Given the changing landscape with the new rock, I now have an opportunity to keep more fish than I previously could before. Is there a limit on how much fish I can add in at once (in addition to the original 3) assuming the tank is fully cured? This way I don't have to worry about bully fish down the line.

Also, is there a max limit on how much fish load would you recommend assuming a full reef?

My current load is the following:

Royal Gramma
Purple Tang
Maroon Clown

and would like to add the following:

A Fairy wrasse or two
Six line wrasse if it will co-exist with the Fairies
Peppermint Hog
another colorful fish

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!
