Fish for a new tank

I am purchasing a new salt water tank and setup with deminsion of 60X20X36. It has a prebuilt artificial reef on one side of the tank w/under cabinet filtration and skimmer. I am also putting a reef lighting package on it and starting w/ live rock and sand.
Here are my questions for this tank:
1) What would be a good combination of compatable fish types for this tank
2) How many fish should I stock?
3) What types of inverts should I use with question 1?
4) Any ideas you might have on this setup.
Thanks

Depends on what you want, we can all give you a variety of fish lists if you tell us this.
Do you want an aggressive reef? Or peaceful?

I am looking for a peaceful reef at this point. I have lots of basic fish I like but I am not sure on what will work for this tank. I have kept freshwater tanks for years but this is my first venture into saltwater.
Clowns
Starfish
Helmet cowfish
blenny's
wrasse's
do Not want damsel's
anemones etc.

Well...A peaceful reef of that size is really wonderful.
Have you ever considered Anthias?
Here's my reccomendations for fish, just personal preference that would go nicely together.
Tangs (Naso, Regal, Kole, Sailfin, Yellow)
Anthias (Sunburst, Lyretail, Squarespot)
BlueGreen Reef Chromis (GREAT Schoolers)
Firefish
Clowns (Maroon not so much, they are rather agressive and very hard to get to pair)
Most of the wrasses available for Reef are very agressive but some smaller ones are, Sixline, Fourline, and Mysteri.
