Default Softie Lighting + Pictures

My taro tree coral and pineapple tree corals don't open up all the way! I tried moving it around to different levels and locations but to no avail. It was open all the way initially, but after I rearranged some of the LR, it has since closed up a bit....any suggestions? Is it too much/too little light for a 30 gal??

I always wanted to keep SPS eventually but not sure if this lighting will handle them....

Lighting: orbit lighting system w/ 2 96 watt dual daylights (10,000K:6,700K) and dual actinics (192 watts of light total)

ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, phosphates: 0
dKh: 10
pH: 8.2
Calcium: 500
SG: 1.024


Oh and I've been pestering everyone so much I thought I'd owe you some pics of the setup

Silver Branch Xenia


Neon Pineapple Tree (closed up, but he won't open fully either)
