Starting a 40br sps tank. Just looking for some input as to what fish would work well in that size tank. I will be skimming heavy so i would like to stock heavy as well. Need the poop for the corals :)

I love angel fish, so I would suggest an angel for sure. I think a lot depends on what you like. You could get a really cool flame angel or coral beauty.

what else? I already have a pair of false perc clowns and a pair of firefish. What about some gobies or even a small school of some sort?

I had a 40 breeder for a couple of years. I had a small maroon clown, a flameback angel, a chalk bass and a possum wrasse. The angel and clown really didn't get along, and still don't in their 135g home, but I imagine you wouldn't have a problem with a small angel and your clowns.
Here are some pics:

You might also look into the fairy and flasher wrasses.

I think a trio of cardinalfish would look nice in that tank.
