Would like to know everyone's opinions on a fish or two to start with when my tank is done cycling. 50 gallon cube. Must be reef safe.
Best starter fish- reef safe

Gobies, anthias, dartfish, firefish ... All depends on what you are going for. Before i stocked my tank, i sat down and made my full stocking list. Then I started adding fish in the order that would work out best for the fish (shy peaceful fish first, aggressive fish last).
Clownfish, Gobies, Chromis... I would say pretty much anything that is reef safe, not to expensive, and not very aggressive. These are just three possible choices I am sure there are more. Clownfish can be a little aggressive but in my experience they have only been aggressive towards other clowns and my hand;Nailbiting.

Of course I have room for 1 more fish!
Highly recommend making a stocking list of what you would like to have.
It’s the best way to plan order of addition as well as compatibility.
What kind of fish do you like?
Me, I will end up with 30 or so in my tank. I have 20 so far. I have bottom dwellers, cave dwellers, fish that live on the rocks and ones that stay near the rocks. And I have open water swimmers, and ones that wander everywhere. An assortment helps spread out the population and their respective territories.
