grain bill looks good but I would take out the crystal. With Both belgians and IPAs you want to get the beer very dry on the finish. You already have a pound of dark candi syrup (id recommend just using cane sugar, but if you want a brownish IPA then go for it) and that will already provide some sweetness.

For the hop bill, I think that is an excellent blend of flavor hops. I have been using a lot of huell, hallertau blanc, and nelson in my IPAa and they work very well together. That being said, I would move some of them to flameout and do a large hopstand for maximum hop flavor. I would also at least double the amounts of those late hops if you want a good pungent hop character.

WLP550 is one of the spicier belgian yeasts. It will be fruitier the higher you ferment so I would keep the fermentor as warm as possible with insulation. This will get you some apple and pear ester that will go very well this those hops

I also have some Belma hops would they work?

YES

My house IPA that ive been working on is Belma + Huell Melon + ???
Ive been searching for another hop tto get the perfect flavor im after. Tried hallertau blanc, citra, and 2 experimental ones.

Those 2 hops together gives you a great berry/melon fruit salad flavor that is unlike anything ive tasted in a commercial IPA, go for it

yeah I think youll be pleased with the results. That yeast strain is probably the best suited for a belgian IPA in my opinion. A saison strain would be able to get it even drier but the yeast character wouldnt really make a "belgian" IPA. More of a hpped up saison
