I guess some more data would help.

Its a 29g with a the emporer filter (two big bio wheels) and sea clone protien skimmer. It has about 20 pounds of live rock several pieces with soft corals and polyps, 20 pounds of live sand and the light is 18 watt 50/50 coral spectrum. I realize the light is weak but its in a room with great light all day. Ill eventually change the light but my mushrooms and polyps are doing so well im afraid to change anything. It has been set up for three months now and i have a peppermint shrimp cleaner shrimp, fire fish, maroon clown, striped damsel yellow damsel, and a royal gramma. The damsels i used to cycle but think i will return the yellow one shortly. The levels all look good as far as i can tell. I check them with this stick you put in the water for a second and take out. i dont know how accurate but it says my nitrate is at 20 nitrite safe alkalinity 300 and ph is acceptable. I never have any spikes and keep the temp at 80. Ill try and get some photos shortly. thanks
