So I have a Red Sea 350 75 gal (20 gal sump)
2 kessil 360s
Curve 7 skimmer

Current Stock
2 Clowns
Foxface
2 Chromis
Potter Angel

I would like to finish with
2 more Chromis
a Goby
Blue Tang

Will this be ok and advice or tips?

The new chromis you add will likely fight. You should have gotten an odd number from the start. Best chances of success. By Blue tang do you mean hippo tang, atlantic, powder blue,etc...? Either way you need to stick to the Bristletooth tangs for that size tank. Kole and tomani tangs are common. The larger tangs will quickly outgrow the system

will be doing a baby hypo for a few years
 
Be prepared to possibly infect all your other fish with ick with that blue tang. I have plenty experience with them and they are ick magnets no matter what! Though everyone of mine have pulled through from heavy feeding and lots of space
 
In my 75

2 clowns
Potters
Foxface
2 bangai cardinals
orchid dottyback
tomini tang

As others said, stay away from the powder blue. a friend has one in his 125 and they get big, I couldn't imagine that fish in my 75. Stick with a bristletooth, they'll graze all day long.
 
My 75g consists of:
2 T/P Clowns
Melanurus Wrasse
Flasher Wrasse
Copper Band Butterfly
Fire Fish
Tailspot Blenny
Rainford's Goby
Spotted Dragonet
Thought about adding one of the smaller Tangs but opted for the CBB instead. Which was a good thing because I rarely see any Aptasia now.
