I will setting up my tank b in a couple of weeks. Need help narrowing down fish selection and order to put them in tank.

Fish wants below.

2 clown fish
Yellow tang
Kole tang
Wrasse of some sort. Want one that eats pests.(please suggest)
Blenny of some sort(want one that looks like smiling like a tail spot but looking for suggestions.)
2-3 of a schoolingesk fish (chromies or anthies or ?)
Then not sure what else suggestions please

Red sea reefer 250 54 gal. Display size.

Not only looking for fish suggestions but also what order to put the fish in the tank for best suggestions.

Thank you for your input.
 
No Tang should be in a tank smaller than a standard 75G IMO though some people have done it in smaller tanks. Unless you intend to upgrade I’d hold off on both Yellow and Kole.

Here’s one stocking plan to consider for a 54G. I’d also skip the Anthias and Chromis as they’re active and require several feelings a day:

x2 Ocellaris Clownfish- Captive Bred

x1 Yellow Coris / Melanurus or Pink Streak / Possum Wrasse

x1 Bicolor / Tail Spot / Starry Blenny

x1 Royal Gramma / Blackcap / Swissguard Basslet / Assessor Type Fish / Orchid Dottyback

x1 YWG or another shrimp and goby combo

If you really want a damsel type fish a Chrysiptera would do, maybe even a pair in place of the basslet/ Dottyback and goby.
