Id please, corals and light fixture

I'm far from an expert but this is what I see. You have mushrooms, pulsing xenia, candy canes, some palys. The light is a double metal halide HQI with T5's or possibly compact florescent. What its worth depends on what brand it is and what wattage the MH's are. They are probably 150 or 250 watts. The ballasts that should be with it probably has a sticker on it with all that information. I also see a Hagen master test kit in the background. Personally I would choose a better brand for testing as they aren't overly accurate IMO. API offers a pretty cheap test kit that is more accurate.

Its a coralife fixture, I have the same one. I am looking for an extra ballast if anyone knows where to locate one haha

I've gone thru 3 Coralife Fixtures. The wires do not come out the side they come from the back, there does'nt look like theres any lunar light which usually come with all of them. The lens for the PC's usually go end to end. Theres no fans on the top. So I guess I dont have to say I disagree on what brand it is.

I can't find a tag on it. It has two fans out of the side opposite of the cords. It uses 30w blue t3's. The metal halides I am not sure. I tried to pull it apart, but it must be sticking with the salt buildup on it. I left it alone and will try to loosen it with vinegar or something. Don't want to break it.

It does'nt say on the ballasts? And do you mean T5's? Coralife only uses PC's for the supplemental lighting. Most people will say it's good if it's not a Coralife. I never had a problem when I ran them but most people say Coralife is junk.

I had cleaned off alot of the rock, as there was pulsing Xenia everywhere!!! Then I started finding all the candy cane coral in the bottom of the tank.
What kind of fish is in the attached pic?
