I must commend you on your excellent planning.

I forgot to mention before about shrimp. They are voracious pigs. All from coral banded, peppermints or the common kept cleaners. They love to eat things in the sandbed and from the rock.

Most of us keep them in some form, and my cleaners worked over my sailfin daily. But I have seen many of the experienced reefers on the boards, moving away from cleaners, {unless they have large fish}.

Peppermints are mostly used for apitasia. Kinda stupid shrimp,IMO. Coral Banded have large claws for grabbing food and are fine if well fed. If not they will find food one way or the other.
