Hi! welcome aboard

First I'd have to say that that is a LOT of fish for a 65 gal.
The layering sounds fine....the only thing about crushed coral is that most stars and bottom dwelers don't like it much cause it's hard to sift through. THe positive side of CC is that it is a great source of calcium for your tank...however...the calcium from the cc with eventually be depleated.
The main thing to keep on top of is the water quality. Keep a close eye on the Nitrites and amonia and such...check levels daily.
Can you post the current water levels in you tank please?
