Im running stock power compact 2 bulb at 55 watts each. What your opion on the wattage per gallon of water is this enough. How do i count watts per gallon in front of tank it 30 gallon and rear chamber of tank is 4 do use total or only where the light is hitting front chamber of tank is 30 gallons.

What types of corals are you having issues with? Compact florescent bulbs do not produce enough light for many of the more demanding corals.

Wow that seems like a lot of fish to me! I think with the right reef fish and more corals, you would get a much better reef situation. That is just my opinion.

I have to agree that that is a lot of fish. It will be hard to maintain good parameters being that overstocked

Think the tank looks good. It is a lot of fish for that size tank I would think some soft corals would still grow as long as water changes were kept up.

Looks good as long as you can keep parameters under check you are all set.

Way too many fish, but overall looks good. Keep up with water changes.

Looks very nice! If you want more color, zoanthids, palythoa, and ricordia come in every color of the rainbow and are pretty easy to keep.
