Cut the chromis. Only get one tang...all listed are nice. Another fish to look into is a mandarin...they are very beautiful fish and you would be able to support it with that much rock and a fuge. Just my opinion.

I will give info on what I know (the wrasses are another story)
For the clowns 4 clowns would work but I have never heard of 4 of the same species in the same tank as they will pair up forming 2 pair and they might fight. Now getting 2 clowns of one species and 2 of another might work.
For the basslets only 1 would be wanted as 2 will fight.
For the tangs if you research the size they get 2 tangs might work a yellow and something els (that dosnt get to big like a blue hippo your kids know it as dori).
The gobies and chromis look good as well as the chromis will school and not really bother anything and the gobies never really leave there hole.
