Hey, all of the corals you decribed are basically what I have in my tank. I have a 54 gallon corner tank with a mere 100 watts of lighting. This is the bare minum for any coral keeping, but my corals are doing alright. My tank parameters are as follows:
Salinity, 34ppt
Temp, fluctuates between 83F and 86F which is very warm but I have little control over it because my appartment is warm. Leave yours at 80 to 83F if you can.
Flow: I have a sump pumping 900 gph into the back of my tank with a small power head blowing forward for circulation.
My calcium is still really high right now form a subrate change that I did a month ago. Add calcium, trace elements and strontium\magnesium blends regularly. Some add Kalk and other suppliments, and I also use a carbon reacter to keep my water clear.
Hope this helps you out!
