Stocking question - BC14

I just set up a biocube 14. After rock and sand, the actual water volume is only ~10 gallons. I am trying to figure out how many fish I should be able to house successfully.

I am running an int Tank media basket with chemipure elite, and Purigen for additional filtration. I will do a 10-20% water change weekly.

I am a big fan of gobies/blennies/jawfish, but I would also like to keep something that is more of a swimming fish rather than a sand/rock dweller.

Any suggestions on a stock list.

I have been thinking something along the line of:
2 - blenny/goby/jawfish (of some sort)
1-2 clownfish (or other active fish
assorted shrimp, crabs, etc.

I have a goby/pistol shrimp pair and a damsel in mine. It needs one more active fish since the goby spends his time on the bottom. I think 3 is really the Max for a 14g, but I like my tanks lighter on fish and heavier on coral.
 
My last couple tanks have been really light on fish and heavy on corals. I am wanting a better mix of both with this go around. That is why I was think a couple inactive, and a couple active.
 
I had a damsel, clown and goby in my 14 with no problems. Depending on the size your should have no problem with three in there.
 
I ran a Biocube 14 for 3 years and had 2 false perc clowns and a yellow watchman goby. I would not get any more fish than that.
