For the SCWD. What type of pump will you run through it. I suggest you do a closed loop with the SCWD(With a seperate pump from sump or display, rather than the return. You really dont want the 2SCWD's to be in the main return from sump to display.

What I did on my 110g set up is. Besides the return I have a jebo pump that pushed 700gph so I put this in my display and ran the close loop from there. Sort of like this:

then again I see your running a mag24 over kill? You should be straight either way.

Good Luck

for the lighting i'd go with IceCap Pendants and Electroinc ballast's. I've got two 250w mh pendants + ballasts, and I can say i'm really happy with them. They arent cheap though but well worth the price. Oh also instead of a SCWD and Sea Swirls, go with a OM (Oceans Motions super squirt 4way) and run your closed loop on one of those with a big pump. Its cheaper too and works nicer imo
