Sounds pretty good just a few things.
If you want fowlr you'll need your tank water to turn over at least 15 times per hour and for a reef at least 20 times per hour. I'd loose the sponges all they will do is trap detritus and cause you to have nitrate issues down the road.
Other than that it sounds prett good!
