It's been my experience by reading about those starting a nano tank that the one mistake they make is attempting to turn a small tank into an 'everything under the sun' tank.......TBS rock, critters, gorgs, sponges, fish, soft corals, LPS corals, SPS corals, clams, fish, etc, etc, and it tends not to work out longer term. Another mistake I always read about is those trying to add way too much to their newly set up tank too soon before the tank has a chance to mature for at least a few months.

For the lighting, if you feel you want or need to run MH's then I would go easy on the wattage and adjust your tank to them slowly over a couple weeks. Coralife and the Viper make MH clip on tank setups where you can also adjust how high the unit sits over the water. Would also be a good idea to add more flow like an additional Koralia Nano or two IMO.
