Actually this is way better that your other set up.
You do have to upgrade your filtration...ASAP!
If cash is an issue, sell one of the set-ups.
You still need to do major re-search (& understand!!!) on maintaining a reef, so concentrate & put effort on one set up, instead of 2 that need major work.

This looks much better but i believe that the lighting wont be strong enough for your corals I would just use the hob filter for carbon and change it every 2 weeks. I dont believe that skimmer it too good but maybe someone can chime in on this one. are you planing on putting live sand there? I would also cover the back with some kind of wallpaper to hide all the cables. Good luck and happy reefkeeping
I would say
-too many fish I would only have 2-4 fish in a tank like that with thoes filters
-upgrade the skimmer. I know the seaclone says it's for a 100 gallon tank but it's not a well made filter there are better HOB skimmers out there.
-weekly small water changes, like 5 gallons or so
-upgrading the lights wouldn't hurt but what kind do you have is it 2x96watt cause that isn't bad for a 45. 2x96 should be enough to maintain the zoa's but they may lose some color if they're placed on the lower portion of the tank.
-some more pumps for flow would be a good idea as well
-are you dosing anything
hope this helps

Throw away the seaclone. Do not attempt to sell it, just throw it away.
Do the same for the emperor 404
Go to your LFS and slap every person that works there, twice.
Put your new lights on a 8hr light cycle after photo acclimating your corals.
Do at LEAST 10% water change a week.
TEST for every additive you are adding.
Post your water params and we will guide you through this.
Go back to your LFS and slap them again.
Get a good HOB skimmer, no less than a Remora Pro with a Mag 3

Keep the 404 it sucks but at least you can add some carbon and have some mechanical filtration until you get something better.
I agree about the sea clone but you can use the powerhead for water movement
make sure you keep the sunpod cool, blow a small fan on it or something. I've seen many beak from overheating.
have you tested your water?
do you add supplements?
