| Gwen's right on the fish.. try to avoid damsels, in a reef, because they can be either aggressive or destructive, sometimes both.. and i also agree to start with less aggressive fish in general.
regarding the coral, i can not give a blanket answer. some coral can go in when the cycle is done, some you will need to wait many month before your tank would be able to support them..
let us know what genus or species you are interested in and we can try and give you a bit more direction. (when providing this info, be a bit more specific than "mostly softies, and maybe a few LPS for now", as that doesn't really help a whole lot)
