Reef tank question?

im lookin to start adding coral to my 75 gal fowlr tank. I have about 110 lbs of live rock, 5" of live sand, a good lighting system and good water circulation.
my only concern is the amount of fish i have.
i have one cardnail fish, 2 firefish, a black percula, a maroon clown, an ocularis clownfish, and a blue damsel that im having trouble catching. is this too many fish for a reef tank?
Answers:
No you should be ok just gonna have to do large weekly water changes. i have 4 fish in my 36 gallon reef so you will just need to really stay on top of water changes. Have you tried using any trap for the damsel? If you take a 20 oz soda bottle cut the top off and flip it backwards into the other end of the bottle and bait it with food you should be able to catch the damsel. here is a video that will show you how. I use fishing line to attach the pieces and not pins this way you dont hurt any of the fish by accident. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/753975/mak...
