As a basic rule with PC lights, stay away from SPS corals, and clams.

yup unless you have ALOT of pc or a very shallow tank.
I once had 5 x 65 watt on a 29 and kept a few sps with no problem but for the cost of getting enough pc you might as well get MH. you would much rather replace one MH bulb then 5 pc bulbs

sorry, but what are SPS corals

 

[oceana]

sps=small polyp stoney
the colorful stick looking corals. well some call them sticks but i find some are very beautiful.

[oceana]
