Thanks etompkins.. yes I will definitely get another one.. But for now.. I have to take care of the rest of my "buddies" before they die..

Javier get rid of the sponges! Do a 50% water change for starters, then go back to 10% weekly, atleast until you lower the nitrates.
If your cal & alk are high do nothing. Do not add anymore until they lower naturally as your corals use up what is in the system.
From what I understand T5 are fine. What corals are you keeping that you feel you should have MH? Are you keeping clams & sps?

	MH Metal Halide Lighting, typically used for high intensity light demanding corals such as SPS. Bulbs come in varieties of spectrums (7k, 10k,20k), and intensity (175W, 250W, 400W).

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.

sponges r out… im getting ready for the water change…
i was thinking , perhaps, more light.. healthier corals.. no sPS or clams..

t5's will even be fine for clams but since you dont have any the lighting is fine for your corals. You just need to regular your water parameters and you will notice a difference in your corals and dont buy any until you get that straighten up. Happy Reef Keeping.

upgrade...
it seems everything is fine now.. well torch died...
nitrates : aprox 10
alk: 3.5 (going down to normal level)
calcium: 380
PH : 8.2 .... finally.. I read somewhere that not enough water aeration or something like that could decrease the ph.. well I put a PH pointing to the water surface and after a week.. now my PH is 8.2 .. not sure if this fix my ph.. but my PH is fine now..

thank u all for helping me out...

thanks Awi!!!!!!! thank u so much..
