Succulent Garden Plans Help!

Hi All,

I am looking for succulents that will tolerate 12+ hours of sun. I live in a very sunny area of Northern California in a 3rd story apartment building. So I get a lot of sun all day long. Usually from 6 AM until 9 PM (even longer as the summer goes on). Enough that it nearly kills everything that I put in my window boxes. So I've decided succulents are what I need.

I have 4 window boxes (standard size), 2 strawberry planters (9 holes each), and 1 hanging basket (its a very large one use to have two huge fushias in it). That I plan to fill.

So far I have

Mexican Ghost Plant (1 cutting)
Donkey's Tail (4 cuttings)
Jelly Bean (1 cutting)
Panda Plant (1 cutting)
6 unidentified (i'll have to take some photos)
1 Kalanchoe (I am not really sure what to do with it)
and unlimited amount of red apple aptenia (which I really don't like so I rather not use it but its in my friends garden so if I want it. Its free (and I can trade it too).

and Josh is sending me some Jade.

I am looking for any suggestions as what I should put in all of my planters that will handle the full the sun. Additionally since I have a lot of space to fill I am going to make a request in the exchanges section for what is listed here.

Can't wait to get started with succulents.
