Sorry for the wrong pic placement

The list looks good but I'm skeptical of the dragonnet in that size tank. And I would urge you to get more rock into the tank before fish, the fish will appreciate places to hide.

There is no "Instant tank method", no immediate cycling method.

Did you use all live rock and sand, live as in wet, directly from a body of water or an established system?

Typically you cycle the system before you add livestock, best practice.

If you can train the dragonet onto frozen that issue is overcome, but you absolutely need a lid for a dragonet - I've had more than one ruby red jump through 1/8" mesh at night. Larger specimens will not fit, and larger dragonets would be fine (again, trained onto prepared foods.)

You could maybe fit something else in the sand bed or water column, but it doesn't look like a big tank, so it would be pretty heavily stocked with more.

Yeah i am making a diy mesh cover for the tank i just havent finished making it yet and also i probably wont go over 3 or 4 fish and if i did get a dragonet i would try to find one that eats mysis or anything other than copepods

I agree that more rock would be a good idea for your tank.

Dragonett could work, but I also question it being in a tank that size. The rest of your stocking list looks fine.

You can always build up the middle of your tank. You have the two side pieces. I would add something to the middle.

Your new stock list is perfect for that tank. IMO, I would add the clowns last to prevent territory issues.
