This is going to be a FOWLR and I was thinking of adding the following fish. I would really appreciate any comments. This is the first aquarium I've ever set up so I need all the help I can get.
the fish are:
1 - Ocellaris Clownfish
1 - Purple Tang or 1 - Regal Tang
5 - Green Chromis or 5 - Lyretail Anthias (or a mix)
1 - Lawnmower Blenny
1 - Ribbon Eel

I personally am not fond of a quarantine tank, and in your case I can only see problems, especially with tangs and Anthias. The tank is far too small for them. An alternate idea might be to add fish directly to the main tank after the cycle is complete (with 100lbs of LR there will not be much of a cycle.)
I would however go slowly, as a just cycled tank won't support many fish. I would start out with the Chromis, and the Clown. Then well down the road when you have learned more I would reconsider the Anthias, and the Tang. I would probably substitute a Bicolor Blenny for the Lawnmower, as they seem tricky. Lastly forget the Eel
Those are my ideas anyway.
