Okay these fish sound good too me

2 - Ocellaris Clownfish
1 - Yashia Goby..... maybe a Candy Stripe Pistol Shrimp?

1 - Tail Spot Blenny ( I've heard that hardly anybody can keep these alive for over 6 months but I'm willing to try) or a Midas Blenny

I thought about going aggressive then my senses came to me not to waste a whole 34 gallon tank on 1 fish. I think later on I will buy a 20-24 gallon or so to do a species only wartskin frogfish.
Oh yeah, what order should i add these fish and how long should i wait between adding these fish?

I think you wait a month when adding fish...anybody know?
My updated list is this:
1-false percula
1-black and white false percula
1-midas blenny
Anything else i could add with those fish?

+1 Generally it isn't. However you are essentially adding two false percs so you may be ok, you will just have to monitor them closely. Also adding them at the same time will increase the odds of them pairing up. Not sure about the midas blenny though, they have a reputation of getting aggressive in smaller tanks, then again clowns can be quite aggressive as well
Can't wait to see it stocked with some coral

Today I'm going to my LFS and returning one of the fire shrimp because he is too aggressive with my other fire shrimp and replacing him with a cleaner shrimp.

I might buy something else as well...

Keeping both fire shrimp and next week I'm getting a pair of mated clowns with a frog spawn there already hosting.

Is that too much for 1 day?

I would still get the yashia goby and candy stripe pistol...
add them first though if the tank is stable so the shrimp can get a hole dug and the yashia will get established without getting pested by clowns.
When was the last water change and what are the current parameters?

Water Test:
ph: 8.2
nitrites: 0
ammonia: 0
nitrates: 0
alk: 10
Specific Gravity: 1.026
This would be my 1st water change. CUC has been in there for about a week.
Would the midas blenny go with the yashia goby and candy stripe pistol?

do a 10 gallon water change.
if you're going to do that combo..
add the yashia and shrimp first..
add the clowns a month after...
add the midas a month after that..
the clowns and midas are going to be major contributors to the bioload, the yashia and pistol aren't bad.
Remember though.. in that size tank the midas may be aggressive, you never know.. I'd get it as small as possible.

I kept mine on a 1-2inch bed in my bc14..
You should be ok.. one thing I would do is get a bunch of small snail shells and itty bitty LR rubble so the pistol can line his cave and burrow...
