The set up looks good, but I see issues with the stocking. Clarkii clowns are extremely aggressive. I had 1 to deal with my YT danios, and boy did he. He also attacked my large BSWGoby all the time. Very territorial and aggressive.
In the end 2 will probably pair up and kill the 3 rd, not to mention the little osc clown. The Blue Tang will get way too big for your tank and coupled with the Clarkiis will probably have health issues due to stress.

Thanks Ingy, im going to find a bigger home for the regal tang soon. and the clarkis get along great the percula clown is the aggressive one but they all seem to do well together. I forgot to mention I have 1 purple dottyback...
