1. how large is your tank?
2. 4 clowns may have territorial disputes, especially in a small tank. keep an eye out for them.
3. all your posted parameters are fine for the livestock you've mentioned.

I agree the parameters are fine but the 4 clowns in that tank will become problems later on.

I would also suggest raising the sg up to around 1.026 if your planning other corals

Just add saltwater over the next few days instead of RO water for top offs until it gets there.
