That sounds like a series of really bad ideas. Doing research yourself is one of the most important parts of having a reef tank and a good habit to get into sooner rather than later. How much research did you do regarding these fish choices?

tests
do you know how to test for things like calcium, ph, magnesium, etc. are you going to start with dry rock or live rock. are you going to have a bare bottom or sand what kind of coral are you going to keep. what temp, salinity, ph, and hardness. do you have all the equipment you need?

Don't forget to stock with a nice eel too to fix your bad fish making decisions.

I would not suggest the chromis. You have many options on a tank that size. I prefer to see larger tanks with multiple smaller fish. Goby, blenny, hawkfish, anthias, wrasse, pygmy angel, 1 tang. Many options here.

Chromis a famous for killing each other until only 1 remains so no to that idea.
5 yellows, I had 3 in a much larger tank. Now I have 2, not too sure here either. Cardinals are a yes though.
