What kind of animals do you want to keep over the long term? For your fish and live rock, that lighting will probably be just fine. The lights are really only for your eyes. If you want to keep corals, you'll need more light than that for most animals.

Then the lights are just for looks. Whatever looks nice to you should be fine.

Well, anything that doesn't have photosynthetic symbionts. Personally, I'd just stick with fish, snails, shrimp, etc. The motile animals should all be fine.
