Here is a picture of a 210, I maintain, the fake corals were at the clients request,
Sorry my camera is not the best so the picture really doesn't do it justice.

It might fit the lighting requirement but it is NOT a Fish Only With Live Rock tank...you just have a reef w/o enough light...
I too like you aqua scaping...
I'm am curious how you are "overdriving" your NO lights to have them put out more light than their listed wattage????? basically how do 3' 30 watt lamps turn into 3' 95 watt lamps????

by wiring them and running them with a ballast meant for driving vhoi setup the wiring as if i were hooking up vho bulbs and just used NO bulbs instead
At first i thought the corals would do poorly under the amount of light being provided but honestly they are doing better than when i had them in my 40 gallon with t5's, It was my original intention to actually rid myself completly of corals but then a few weeks went by and then a couple of months and i am getting great growth but the focus of this tank is and will always be the fish being able to keep live corals in there is just a bonus
