55g to 20g conversion

I was wondering what you guys thought of this setup and if you had some lighting/other reccomendations. Long story short I have a 55g that was started awhile back and due to not having lots of money to go spend on it and wanting to make my turtle happy I have decied to move the 55g to a 20 long and the turtle into the 55g.

Right now in the 55g I have 20-25lbs of LR which is looking great minus the diatoms, a seio 1100, 150w heater and 2 turbo snails as well as a fluval 305.

My plans are to build a simple stand and set up the 20g long with the 20-25lbs of LR, crushed coral substrate, seio 1100 pump, and 150 watt heater. I am very unsure what to do about lighting but found this fixture and planned on using some good bulbs with it. Underneath the stand will be a 10 gallon sump. For the sump I plan on using a via aqua 1200 for return, using crushed coral for substrate and putting some macro algea in it. I am also looking to add a nano skimmer such as the rio to the sump.
