I'd say it is pushing it... You might get aggression with that low number of chromis...I think you'd want more hermits and snails as well.

AND to keep nitrates down don't think about using crushed coral. Use fine aragonite sand and live rock. You may have an issue as both chromis and clowns belong to the damsel family and can be aggressive. You would do better with the clowns and a firefish or some other goby type fish or dwarf angel such as a pygmy
