Critique my friends set up please

72 gallon bow front
4 x 65 watt coralife power compact (two 10k, two actinic)
20 Gallonish Sump with Bio Balls
Coralife 125 Skimmer
65 pounds of live rock with 80 pounds of live sand
Sump return will be 600 GPH with after head factor
1 - 400 GPH powerhead

Plans for a Maxima (sp?) clam and BTA, no other corals. Zerba Lion, Lawn Mower Blenny and a pair of False Percs.

I've done my critiquing, but would like your thoughts.

You need good cross flow so 2 powerheads best. Clams wont do very well under PC lighting.Also the BTA dont do to well under PC lighting but some get buy.
What type of substrate are you going to have?

The zebra lionfish gets to about 7" in length, and might eat the clownfish. The lights might be a little weak for the BTA. They seem to be a bit variable in their requirements. A maxima clam will require stronger lights, either a good T5 setup or a good MH setup.
