I am the proud owner of a 75G SW tank with a 30G sump/refug and a Coralife Skimmer. For lighting I have 2 actinics and 2 MH.

When I first got into the hobby I did so because I love the color diversity of the fish but have since fallen for corals.

Currently I have:
1 clown
2 chromis
1 hippo tank
1 sixline wrasse
1 longnose hawkfish

But my concern is about the number of coral I have in my tank. Some say that in order to maintain so many coral I should have a carbon filter.
I have:
3 colts Med.
1 pulsing xenia Small
colony of green polyps
small colony of daisy polyps
1 open brain
1 medium toadstool leathers (my favorites)
1 small acropora
1 small colony of trumpets (4 heads)
assorted mushrooms

Is my filtration sufficient?:-?

Oh and what is your opinion on Moon Lighting?:-|
 
short answer: NO

The carbon filter will help if you've got some chemical warfare going on between the corals. So long as you have enough space between them it should be fine.
 
Sorry, didn't see about the moon lights. I have a reefkeeper system with a moonlight module that emulates the lunar cycle. I love it. My fish and corals couldn't give a crap about it.
