Welcome to RC, Tpine44G! Good to hear you don't want to have overstocking issues.
What is that tank, 18 inches in diameter? Can you provide tank dimensions?
With tanks with less horizontal swimming room, it is best to pick fish that tend to hang in one place, like clownfish, watchman gobies, cardinal fish, barnacle blennies, midas and algae blennies. The hawkfish and angel are both pretty aggressive, especially in smaller confines.
I have no experience with those predators, so someone else with experience with them would be a better adviser.
With more vertical space, which I think you have, you can research the fishes' preferred swimming levels to keep the peace. Pick fish that swim at the top, the middle and the bottom, to take advantage of the verticality.
Once you have a fish list, the order of introduction is critical. Add smaller, more timid fish in first, and bigger, more boisterous fish last.
Good luck and have fun!
