Vertical faces on your rocks and also in the lower portion of the tank is good.
Using a Coral Plus instead of an Aquablue Special is a 1 to 1 swap as far as PAR goes for all intents and purposes.
You really don't need to overdrive your bulbs and use all of the extra energy needed for this fixture IMO and experience. The expected life of the...
The Cherry Barbs get to 2" and may feel cramped in the tank as they get larger.
The Coral Plus has PAR numbers near to the Blue Plus which would put it a little lower than the Aquablue Special but not enough to matter.

The light might work, but I am not sure at all. A canister filter would be better for carbon usage. HOB tend to bypass the carbon too easily. You...

You should have the water level low enough to handle back flow from your tank without overflowing should power go out. You will need to do test...
