I would add some snails and a fighting conch to clean up things in the sand. I might also concider upgrading the lights so that a variety of corals can be selected.

Dacia made a good point. Upgrade the lights to maybe a 150-250w hqi pendant about 12" off the water with a 20k bulb, that would be really nice. Also I would consider a decent skimmer and a sump, also some more flow.

i just got the light and it is supposed to be as strong as the ones u hang on over your tank. it is supposed to be able to support anything (exept clams and some needy corals) I realy trust the guy who sold me this because he has turned me down on stuff i want because im not ready for it.. he is honest and tests everything he sells. my light is VERY powerful and it is just as strong as the ones that my lfs selller has. i dont know alll thats in it atm because i just got it.
what would u say i can do with the little money i have? my lights are ok and i hope to get some cleaning/LR when i get some $$$. so is there anything i can do that is realy not THAT $$$. im still looking forr any suggestiond even if its TOO pricy. just let me know THX ~TRAVIS

If you are reffering to metal halides then you are mistaken.

Great that you trust the guy, but i do believe he is incorrect. Your lights are not strong enough for many corals.
