Looks like the beginning of a good privatly funded reef. I would triple the amount of rock in the tank over time - if that is live rock, I would slowly add some baserock over the next couple months. Without a lot of rock, it is hard to place corals. The baserock won't screw up your cycle and will eventually seed.
The lighting is fine for now, you'll be fine with softies and other beginner corals until you find the $$$ to upgrade.
I see the overflow - what do you have sump/fuge wise?
Looks good so far! :D

yea, im doing a FOWLR, but no aggresive fish, and mostly fish that wont bother corals, so i may add afew mushrroms or zoos or somthing if i get better lights. im tryin to find used lights so that it wont cost me so0 much $. what do u think would be a next good additon to a 45 gallon?
