Tony's Exotic LPS and Zoanthid tank

[stubbbs]

You seem to be doing very well with your corals...they are awesome looking. I don't mean to hijack your thread but any advice for someone looking to start dabbling in corals...i was thinking about this light setup...what do you think?
Outer Orbit HQI/Compact Fluorescent/Lunar Fixture
* Combination high output Metal Halide aquarium light fixture
* Internal electronic ballast eliminates aquarium equipment clutter
* Features more lunar lights for better nocturnal aquarium viewing
Microprocessor controlled internal electronic ballast means no bulky remote ballast assemblies. Sleek, self-contained fixture minimizes clutter while providing the combined light output of metal halide and compact fluorescent bulbs. Plus more lunar lights to provide an atmospheric nocturnal viewing environment. Features integrated cooling fans, parabolic reflector, protective splash lens, two timers, two independent on/off switches, and two 72" power cords. Includes docking mounts and hanging bracket (can be set atop canopy or hung from ceiling), appropriate number of 150 watt PowerPaq 10000°K HQI double ended bulb(s) and Dual 460nm/420nm Actinic square pin compact fluorescent bulbs. 15" x 4-1/4" high.
Advice/Opinions Welcomed. Thanks

Sorry been busy. Well for you guys that want some info. I don't have a skimmer on my 29gal. I do 2 gallon water changes every sunday and i feed every other day. I run carbon 24/7 and a bit of rowaphos. I have a hang on back refugium with lots of chaeto in it. My light i have over it is a 250MH with a 20k Reefoptics bulb on it. Well i'll try to answer questions as i can. I just been really busy and i sold a lot of my stuff but i'm remodeling my living room so i'll hopefully have a big tank soon. Well post pics of progress when i get there and always searching for the rare corals.
