Your lighting is sufficient for that and much more. I've seen clams on the bottom of a 90 and beautiful colors from acros up high under the Tek light.

Here is a pic of my old 75 (three months ago), 6 bulb Tek light. I think you'll be allright.

My 6 bulb Tek hood is sitting on top of my tank. And it hardly raises the temp at all!! I notice towards the end of the end the tank gets to 83 degrees, but that's not bad!

I have my t5s about 9 inches from the surface and I read 5,000 more lux on the surface than with my 2 250 halides. Im afraid if I lower my lights I will fry everything in my tank.
