your lighting could kill some of your coral watch out when you change your bulb it will shock them.Most soft corals do good at5-8wpg.You would be in business if you got some sps like digatata or acro's.You are also over skimming for soft coral,they like and use organic nutrients in the water for food.SPS or stony coral does better in nutrient depleted water.Over skimming will also take out your trace elements and most of your chemicals and test kits are $$$.Size appropriate skimmers are the way to go.
