stocking a 75 FOWLR

I am planning a 75 gallon FOWLR and i was wondering if my stock list sounds reasonable or if i can add or have to take away some fish.
A little background on the filtration planned for the tank is a 35 gallon sump, with about 30 lbs of live rock in the sump, 100 lbs in the main tank, and a euro reef RS135 in sump protein skimmer.
OK so my is the following
-1 snowflake eel
-1 flame angel
-1 raccoon butterfly
-2 pink skunk clownfish
Is this too much?, can i add more? or i this just right. Also i dont want anything to get eaten by the eel so are the clowns safe in this tank. I tried to pick a larger species to avoid predation
 
I would think the clowns would eventually be snacks...you could try a more aggressive pair of clowns, like maroons (mine would beat the crap out of my trigger...that's why she moved!)
 
the toby can be known to nip...not likely at the eel, but other fishes...as long as you keep the eel well fed and you have alert fish, you could be alraight...I love hawkfish, they are so interactive...but really, in the long run the 75 may get too tight for the eel...gotta keep growth in mind...likely if everything was in the 75 together, you would eventually just end up with a chubby eel! Best of luck
