You have alot of choices but I think the tangs are not for a tank that size.

Damsels can be nice but tend to get to be bullies in small spaces.

A clownfish,Firefish and Royal Gramma would be colourful and peaceful together, as well as fairly hardy.

That's a start.

I agree with the Tang thing. According to the norm you should have 4 feet in length.
The number of fish that can be housed in a given sized tank is dependent on many things, such as filtration, water quality, the ability to keep the water parameters the same etc.
I think that in a newly cycled reef tank the accepted norm is one inch of fish per 5 gallons of ACTUAL tank volume. In a mature tank (older than a year) can be pushed to one inch of fish per 2 gallons of actual tank volume.
