Hi guys, Im fairly new to the saltwater aquarium world and am to that point where im not sure if theres anything else i should be getting to improve life in my tank, i have a 30 gallon aquarium with roughly 25 pounds of live rock, 6 fish, 1 Damesel 1 Coral beauty 1 Clown 1 Black Mitus Goby 1 spotted hawkfish, 1 cleaner shrimp and a 6 line wrasse, for coral i have Zenia, Starpolips, Running a 425 GPH Powerhead, a seastar mixed 10000k White and 456 Nanometer actinic blue double strip light with rotating timers for white and blue, and a standard tetra whisper power filter with carbon. Everything in my tank has gone swimmingly (heh) These past couple months, ive had no deaths to due water issues and my water has tested okay with 1.024-1.026 salinity and all tests running great. (Ph, Ammonia, etc). Heres a quick picture of my aquarium. Any suggestions are welcome. I will be topping off today so dont worry about that :P

For starter, You could look into a bigger HOB rated for a bigger tank to keep the water well circulated and be able to add more media bags in it.
I like the aquaclear brand which is owned by fluval I believe. I have HOB rated for a 75g tank on my 20L. The more circulation the cleaner the water for your fish and coral.
 
You might want to add another powerhead or two. 425 GPH in combination with that HOB filter is not that much IMO. The top of that water looks like it's at a standstill.
 
2 for 0 for adding more water movement.. Looks like thats my next step, Thanks guys!
