So my tank 240g 8x2x2 is almost done with its cycle and I have most of my fish picked out. I’m not sure in what order to add them, ie what ones to add last. Tangs are not set in stone. As for coral, zero will be in tank till it’s fully stocked and it will be softy/LPS only. Any input will be very helpful this is first salt/reef.

Cardinal fish 2 or 3
Fire fish 1 or 2
Royal gramma 1 or 2

Yellow watchman goby 1
Bluespotted watchman goby 1
Neon goby 2
Flasher wrasse 1

I'll make just one suggestion, check out the genus Genicanthus Angelfish. They are planktavoures making them totally reef safe as opposed to the dwarf angels which can be a risk. I am not saying at all to nix the dwarf angels from the list but a trio of Genicanthus is perfect for a tank your size.
 
Get yourself some algae eaters in the tank first. Fox Face Rabbit Fish, Lawn Mower Blenny, and maybe a Tomini Tang. Then add a 6 line wrasse or a Melranus Wrasse. Anyway, that’s my 2 bits.
