Boldo's spot on about bulb age. I replace mine every 10 months religiously. Also, try swapping the purple plus for another blue plus. Purple can wash out reds in some setups. My SPS tank's 120g, same bulb combo but three blue plus, one coral plus.

Love the stacked rocks, they make for a really cool decoration. The background looks great too, but I gotta say, I kinda preferred the old plant setup - it had a certain charm to it. Very nice lookin' tank though, you've done a great job!

I've got a 30-gallon with a mix of Tetras and Corydoras. I feed them once a day, but I alternate between flakes, pellets, and frozen brine shrimp. Variety keeps them healthy, and I've never had issues with overfeeding.

Palythoa toxin is no joke. Had a buddy end up in the ER after fragging without gloves. They contain palytoxin, one of the nastiest marine toxins. Always wear gloves, goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area. My setup's similar—Red Sea 350, T5 hybrid, 1.026 salinity. I never mess with Palys ...
