Skip the bio-balls. If you get them only clean a part of them at a time. You need to clean them to get rid of detrius that settles but when you clean them you will destroy the bacteria that is processing the waste.
Any lights you want are fine for a FOWLR.
That fish list looks awfully high to me. The general rule is one inch of full grown fish per 5 gallons of water. That leaves you with 15 inches of full grown fish. The clowns are about 3 each, the kole is 7 or 8. Not sure about the wrasse or butterflies but I suspect the butterflies at least will be pretty large.
