    i think with that light you should be fine, but as others have said...its not just ur light. SPS are pain, and you need to keep good water quaity all the time. but you have the lighting covered

    Try Acropora Millipora and Montipora Digitata, or Capricornis!

    I 2nd the digis. I had good luck with those with a 150w (although it was just on a 20 long).

    Edit: I actually also had luck with those when I went to a 70w halide on my 20 long. Check out my video in my favorite threads sometime.
