If you want that carpet,and corals to THRIVE,you should look into more intence lighting.Try VHO(very high output) or even PC(power compact) flourescent fixtures...

I can't let this one go, because that is the same tank I had.
I used a 150 watt 10,000k halide jacked up pretty high with a couple pc actinics. Everything grew like crazy.
Birthday boy is right on, just giving you another option that worked well for my 30 long.
Your setup is ok, but I am not sure about a hammer. Mine seemed greedy for light. I am just guessing here, because I don't know the total of your watts.
