Looks like your plan has come together, I love the leds, they should keep sps corals with no problem.

I would put one Mexican turbo snail in there, he will clean the whole tank up fast, Mexican turbos will do the work of multiple other snails plus they will eat the harsh stuff that the other snails won't touch. Make sure its a Mexican turbo though.

I love the little gobys. I've got a green striped goby and he had an awesome personality. I'm planning on researching that myself soon. So let me know if you find any great articles with lots of suggestions. :-)

Might try a clown fish... I don't have any of those little white boys in my tank... it's either the clowns or my green goby that are keeping them out. :-)
