So should I try SPS now?

[boschman]

My tank has been up and running for about 6 months. I have 380 watts of VHO over a 58 gallon. I have been succesfully keeping GSP's (first coral, has tripled in size), Hammer Coral, Toadstool, and a small colony of green Button Polyps. I have been able to keep my calcium steady at 380ppm. Everything seems to be thriving. So what'dya think? Am I ready for a Montipora frag??

A montipora "may" do well in your system....but they are one of the corals that would do better with higher intensity lighting.I run more light over my 55 than you've listed...and still I've stayed away from SPS type corals for the most part. I do have a montipora digitata ...stag horn...and a blue ridge that seem to be doing well.....but I'm confident that with additional lighting they would be much better off.
