Oh I am still learning thanks for the info. What type of sps should I look for to see if these lights have enough to get the job done.
That acro will let you know. Acros usually need very high amounts of light and flow compared to some other sps

In general, I agree. But I have some acros growing fine in as little as 300 PAR.

Nice piece! Where can I get some of these deep water acros?
No, they aren't deep water. My point was there are some varieties of hard corals that don't need crazy bright illumination. I've had acros accidentally volunteer on egg crate where I hold the corals in low light to acclimate them. They grew like weeds in a area I wouldn't have dreamed had enough light.
I'm currently using a T5 fixture right now that puts out as much lumens and PAR as a 400 watt halide, but spans a 4' area. I don't see how that could be called moderate lighting.View attachment 218254this purple tipped acro grows in moderate lighting fine. Even T5's.
