I'd simplify everything and do 2x250w and some moon lights. I'm not really a fan of PCs.

For corals go with the 250's I personally like the 14k everything else seems too yellow or too blue

Over my 75 I have 2 250 MH (( Phoenix bulbs )) and 2 * 54 T5s. Have great growth and color. Very happy with that set up.
