Was wondering if I have enough light. I have 350watt in MH and another 320 in VHO. It is a 110g reef and is 30" deep. I have several species of SPS towards the top of the tank. They seem to be doing OK, but I expected them to be growing faster. Should I consider adding light? ( all water parameters are fine)

How is your calcium level?

You have to be more specific. Do you have 2 175W bulbs? What kind of bulbs are they? What kind of reflectors do you have?

There are many things that affect coral growth other than light and "water parameters" what ever that means. Feeding, water movement, salinity, temp, other tank occupants, etc...
