Hi Mike, welcome to the world of reefkeeping. I'm a beginner as well, but I recommend that you make a list of fish that you want to keep and then slowly work out the compability/size issues.
Off the top of my head, a 6-line Wrasse seems to be a very popular choice as well as the cheap and colorful Royal Gramma. Another choice would the uber-cool Banggai Cardinals but they should be added to a mature system.
As for a clean-up crew, TheReefGeek pretty much nailed it all. Hermit crabs are complete 'holes because they often knock liverock around. I would say go for some snails and a couple of Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. CBS are kind of like crayfish: you'd like to put them in with other stuff, but there's always the chance that it will kill some livestock.
By all means, I'm no expert at reefing, but I only pass on what I've garnered through conversation with some very knowledgeable people in the hobby. Hope this helps.
