yeap, you are going to have to raise them up considerably and/or get stronger lighting. just out of curiosity, why do you keep your water level down like that?
I would top up with ro but gonna do a water change ltr tonight it dosent realy rise much more after top off i have a marker on the side of the tank so when i do a pwc i know what level to keep it at so the salinitey stays at the proper level and i dont add to much water amd so i know when i need to top of once a week my tank is only 25 gallon but only keep 100 litres in it so i can judge top of's and doseing coral foods etc do you think i should keep more water in it the tank has up and running for two years with no probs any info is welcome my freind ....?

wow...a tang in a 25 gallon? i'm sure you know that you can't keep that fish healthy in there for too long. i wouldn't add any coral food. you don't need any of that for the corals you have.
i would top off daily. as that water level gets lower, the salinity gets higher. i would want to keep the parameters as stable as possible.
