Ok, im setting up a 47 gallon tank up in about a week. If someone could write up a list of all the things I would need for a great reef tank. This will be my first Saltwater tank. I know I need about 50 lbs of LS and 50 lbs of LR and a MH lighting set up. Gonna have a fuge/sump, skimmer....thats all I know I need and im looking for advice on what else would make a great set-up.

As for the Angelfish i would go with 1 of these Cherub Angelfish, Pygmy Angelfish, Coral Beauty Angelfish, Flame Angelfish, Mainly any dwarf angels but with any angel there is a chance of it eating/nipping at some of your corals.
As for the Blenny's i would go with the Midas Blenny, Lawnmower Blenny, Sand Perch Blenny( often confused with the scooter blenny)
And as for the Goby's i would go with Fire Goby, Purple Fire Goby, Helfrich's Fire Goby/Firefish, Rainfords goby, yellow watchman goby paired with a pistol shrimp, Clown Goby's,neon Goby,decorated goby,black or white ray shrimp goby, yellow headed sleeper goby, diamond goby,catalina goby.

you don't need anything for clownfish at my local fish store i have seen clowns that would host live rock i even saw one trying to host live sand! I think it was a little cofused! I heard one host a feather duster. But a frogspawn would do i know i have seen them host plate corals and hammer corals.

my tank that i kinda just got has been set up for 2 1/2 weeks it is a 72 gal. bowfront drilled
thats the biggest i could afford since im only 13 and my tank is 100% self funded soon to be 14 on 9-11! I know i have a tide pool a heater soon to be a Aqua Medic Turboflotor T1000 with ocean runner 2700 (thats my protien skimmer) and 2- 65W Actinic 03/10000K White (50/50) PC Bulb and i think that's it.
