Default starting a new nano tank

Alright, I'm wanting to start a 10gal. nano reef. I've been doing research
on this
for the last few days, and I went and looked around at stores this
afternoon. All the stores I went to had different opinions about what I
need and how to go about doing this right.

Basically I figured I want a few easy to keep corals. The frags I saw I
liked were green frogspawn and some assorted zooanthids, and some green
polyps.

The fish I want are a mated pair of false percula clowns and a tiger
jawfish.

Everything in the tank will be:
- 2 clowns
- 1 jawfish
- 3" DSB (carib sea aragonite premium reef floor)
- plenum (plans at garf)
- the corals mentioned above
- 16 pounds of LR (cured Fiji I believe)
- a powerhead to stir the water (Any advice on this?)
- a 50W submersible heater (I haven't found an ebo jager around here. I
see people seem to like those best, any other good ones?)
- The lights will be two deluxe 2X13w brightkits from ahsupply.com one set
actinic the other 10000k white bulbs. I will put these on two timers to
simulate dawn/dusk
- Clean up crew. (Not sure on this either. Suggestions?)

and that should be it.
Anything I forgot?

Comments on extra equipment I could use?

Is this combination possible?

Thanks for your help. -Chris
