Don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I'm wondering if this is a good stocking list for a saltwater 65 gal Reef Tank?
1 Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish
1 Canary Wrasse/1 Pin Striped Wrasse
3 Black Axil Chromis
1 Emerald Crab

The chromis may or may not be eaten by the lionfish or they mag kill each other. By canary wrasse do you mean yellow coris?
 
By Pinstripe are you talking about the Melanurus or a Pinstripe Fairy Wrasse? If Melanurus there could be issues between it and the Yellow since they are both Halichoeres Wrasses and the Melanurus can be more aggressive to similar species. The Lionfish will eat anything it can fit in it's mouth and I would say it is better suited to a predator only tank. If you want another slow moving predator that is a better community tank mate I would look into a Marine Betta (which is actually a small grouper).
 
Why 1 crab? Add 8-10 or none at all would be my preference. Urchins etc are safer bets usually if you want cleaners that are still fun to see out and about
