looks nice! But how long have you had this tank set up, it looks so new?
 
I did notice the water hitting the light and little and I will take care of it ASAP when I get back from college this weekend. I don't have the lunars set up to run at nights though so hopefully this won't be an issue. I knew about the chocolate chip star when I bought it but my G/F decided that she had to have one in the tank.lol. If I go corals one day, I'll set my 30 up for Salt and transfer the star. The tank is about two months old and I know now that I really jumped the gun on a lot of stuff, hence the name, but everything seems to be doing ok so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That is an UBER COOL aquascape. Not sure if it would be safe but it would be cool if you put that anemone on that overhang in the middle of the tank.

not trying to be harsh but u said be honest. yes tank water level is low, so fill up. the lighting in not strong enough for the condy anemone, so the BTA will die rather quickly. usually only halides are recommended with anemones. you will eventually have a problem and can cause a crash. another is the damsel...will get very very aggresive...just something to think about. also if your going reef the star will eat it all. so if reef get him, and the damsel out now, and for the anemones i would honestly consider taking them out with only PC's. and please maintain your gravel maintaince...i has potential to be a chemical factory.
im so sorry for coming off wrong, but i would feel better telling you. than watching you spend hundreds if not thousands trying to correct these things, that can be changed now. please re-read my post in a different lite and maybe i might not come off so strong, just trying to help!!!!

My BTA lived over a year before I took my 55 down with just PC lights. He should be fine just sup feed him meaty foods as well as just light.
