Default stocking help for 55gal planted tank

First let me get the dimension/equipment:
55 gal (48 long x 21 high)
Rena XP4
ADA amazonia w/ powder type for top layer
will be planted
2 x 55 wat T-5's

I live in south florida so it's hard to get water below 78 degrees and the PH out of my tap is rather high 7.8+

What I plan so far:
I will most likely use danios for the cycling but I don't which ones or how many i should use for the cycling and how many i should maintain for a decent school
5-6 pygmy cories (maybe panda's)
5-6 kuhli loaches

I would like some pretty schooling fish like neon tetra's but don't know how many would be sufficient

is there anything else I could add to this? maybe a couple angels to keep the other fish schooling or maybe platties or resboras?

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
