what kind of corals do you want? lighting will all depend on what you want in your tank. (ie hard, soft? lps, sps,anemonies?)

In my opinion you don't need anymore light if you're not interested in keeping coral.

When you say "whatever is on the rock" what are you referring to exactly? coralline algae?
