Is there any particular order that I should put the fish in the tank ? Also, can i put the two clowns in at the same time, or the three cardinals all in at the same time when it comes time to put them in my display tank ?

ORA Red Mandarin(once the tank is well established, eats frozen shrimp/bloodworms. Hoping)
3x Cardinal fish
Starry Blenny
B/W Percula Clownfish
True Percula Clownfish
Long Nose Hawkfish
Tang
Fairy Wrasse

Next week will be a month. Have some little critters running around and stuff growing on my LR. Temp 78 and Salinity is 1.023. Anything else I should test for ? How noticeable will the diatom bloom be ?. I also add 4 liters of RO water a day. My wood stove heat has a lot to do with that, will be looking into an ATO unit to make the wife's life simpler when I go away.

I'd hold off on the Mandarin for now, you will need a good pod population before even considering adding one.

Stability is key when it come to this hobby. You don't need a Salinity Probe, just buy a good refractometer. I only test Salinity on the fresh SW before a WC, I'd suggest to keep your Salinity at 1.025.

If you're going to add multiples of the same species, add them at the same time.

CUC went in this evening. I am now on the hunt for my two clown fish. I want a black/white one and a orange/black/white one. Trying to get them both at the same time an hope they will get along. Also that they are the same family/type an just different colors, If that makes sense.
