18 fish in a 55. Wow

Fire fish are jumpers. Just so you know.

I don't 'want' 40x flow, I want to make sure I can use 10x but it seems that it too low according to most web sites.

18 fish that are going to stay at 1" in length and get sold/traded when they get bigger.

It's your decision. But IMO. 5 damsels are going to create a fair amount of aggression. I had two in a 180 and they were not a friendly fish. Also hate to see a ha breakout from such a high bio load.

But back on topic.

Looking at it now you might be right on that. I think I will not order the damsels, even thought they are listed as peaceful. Got a sea hare in there for the hair algae.

Not to put a damper on your wish list, but don't count on your sea hare to keep HA under control
Better off not overstocking to begin with

I'm trying my best to stick with the rule of 4" of fish per 10g of habitable water, but it's hard to do in a 75g, especially when most of the fish I want are 4+ inches each

WTH guys, 40x flow is like the MINIMUM.

I have like 90x flow and I just keep zoas and LPS -____-

Anyway, just don't be a dummy and put animals in front of the muzzle of your powerhead. Problem solved.

I think 'muzzle' is the keyword here

And Albert, we're talkin' reef tanks here, not your lap pool

I'm with Albert on this one.
40 is a min flow, I would go more but what's more important is how you active that flow.
You only need about 10 x through the sump if you have a sump that can't handle the high flows. There was a huge three on this a couple years ago. Do a search and you''ll find lots of info.
