OK last week I upgraded my lighting to 542 watts over a 55 gallon tank.. Thats almost 10 watts per gallon do you think im ready for some SPS

Whats SPS's are good for beginners? I dont have a cal reactor or anything... I dont know if some SPS draw more calcium then others or not

Good beginner SPS's are M. digitata, M. capricornis, I think pocillopora is pretty easy, hmmm... :thinking:

Montipora are my favorite sps corals and are generally easier than Acropora and the like. I'd for sure try a couple of those to start with.
