My 30 Gallon Saltwater Tank

[ins0mniac001]

This is my recent 29 Gallon Aqueon kit saltwater setup:
~40-50lbs live sand
~15-20lbs live rock
-2 Star Snails
-1 Bumblebee Snail
-12 Hermits (1 zebra, 5 blue legs, 6 red legs)
-Clarkii Clownfish (~2 inches)
-Valentini Pufferfish (~3 inches)
-Yellow Tail Damselfish & Four Stripe Damsel
-Snowflake Moray Eel (~14 inches)

Currently the tank is filtered with a Large Aqueon powerfilter and a Large AquaClear filter (bag of carbon and sponge). I know I should upgrade to a better filtration system, but the water always seems to test fine and I can't really afford to right now.
In terms of lighting the kit came with a Hagen 24" 17watt bulb for the AllGlass hood, I'm sure theres a better bulb that will fit in this fixture and be better for the tank; unfortunately I don't know too much about aquarium lighting yet (any suggestions are welcome!)

What do you think?

I'd get rid of the filters get more LR(that's tour filter) get better lighting and get a good skimmer and a RO/DI filter and good test kits and a heater for the winter and a grounding probe.And I hope your circuit is GFCI protected.

Thanks! I do have a heater, the water's kept at ~79 degrees. pH is ~8.2, Nitrites/Ammonia = 0ppm, Nitrates = ~12-15ppm.
I should have a UV sterilizer sometime this week, but what kind of lighting do you suggest?

welcome to TRT!

for lighting ide recommend metal halides or t5hos

What do you want to do with the tank?
If you have no intention of getting corals, I see little to no point in splurging on a high end light you won't use.

Well I guess the title of this thread should be changed to my new 55 gallon tank as I just have finished switching into one. 108watts of t5 lighting a fluval 305 canister and 2 powerfilters (no room for a wet dry at this time). The upgrade was prompted by the valentini mercilessly teasing the snowflake until he tries to bite him. I was under the impressiont that this was a vie for dominance/territory since the valentini puffs up and literally tries to push the eel back into his cave.
Unfortunately it still seems to be happening in the new tank, i was splitting them up for a while, but the puffer infallibly returns to wherever the eel is in the tank. I know this isn't the right place for this question but is there any way to stop these altercations or must i just let nature take its course?
