Starting a New Red Sea Max E260

Today, I finally pulled the trigger on a new Red Sea Max E260 and it should arrive by the end of the week. I really love the all-in-one feel as it is going to be my upgrade from my Coralife Biocube 32. I am looking for ideas and feedback for what to stock in the tank (over time of course). Here is a list, in no particular order, of some of the things that I like (not necessarily set on having in this tank):

Pair of Clownfish
Coral Beauty Angel
Royal Gramma
Six Line Wrasse
Small School of Chromis
Squaretail Bristletooth Tang
Yellow Eye Kole Tang
One Spot Foxface
Mandarin Dragonet
Yellow Watchman Goby
Starry Blenny
Bubble Tip Anemone
Frogspawn Coral
Green Star Polyps
Green Polyp Leather Coral
Devil's Hand Leather Coral
Kenya Tree Coral
Birdsnest Coral
Red and Green War Coral
Various Mushroom Corals
Various Zoanthid Corals
Shortspine or Tuxedo Urchin
Sand Sifting Starfish
Emerald Crab
Blue Leg and Scarlet Hermit Crabs
Turbo Snails
Nassarius Snails
Cerith Snails
Fighting Conch
Cleaner Shrimp

I would love to hear what you all have stocked in your setups and what you think about any of the items on my list. I will likely be setting up with at least 80 lbs of live sand, a mix of dry and live rock, and sticking to mostly all stock equipment to get started. May slowly upgrade equipment over time, so suggestions in that department would be welcome as well. Of course I will post pictures and stuff as I go. Thanks everyone!
