Upgrading my 125g (plus 35g sump) to the Reefer 3xl 900 240g. 192 display. Want a good mix of open swimmers and rock huggers and bottom.

Here are the current fish that will eventually go into the tank.
6 staghorn damsels (may or may not try trading 2-3 in but they are active fish-just don't want that much real estate given to them)
1 yellow tail damsel
1 red flame hawk fish
1 coral beauty
2 darwin clowns (mean suckers)
1 foxface
1 yellow tang
1 mandarin goby (in another tank)
1 barber shop goby/pistol shrimp pair

Want to add:
Kole tang
Another tang. Or 2- different families. Can I add more than 1 of a family and if so, which ones. Would love to add 2-3 more yellows
Anthias- 6-8 -- not sure if 1 type or a mix
Wrasse-5-6
1 or 2 bi-colored blenny-stay close to rockwork unless they are coral nippers
more small damsels maybe
royal gramma-maybe. Might be too timid with the damsels
fire fish-maybe. MIght be too timid with the damsels
flame angel-maybe. The coral beauty leaves my corals alone so far
another foxface maybe
would love a couple of jawfish but I'm not doing 5-7" of sand bed. Not sure if a 2" is enough
sand sifter-depending on my scape and corals but they are good at keeping sand clean. Not sure I want the hassle though
lawnmower blenny--algae eating once algae
scooter blenny/dragonet once I have pods = mostly bottom fish
