What corals?

Right now I have a 150watt 14000k MH, a 21watt 10000k T5, and a t5 actinic. I have frogspawn, hammer coral, fox coral, some metallic mushrooms, zoos, and some button polyps. I want to get some new corals but don't know what to get, do you think I could get away with some sps? Any help or suggestions would be great

I don't know too much about sps, so you should definitely wait for more input, but if you place them fairly high up in the tank, I think a fair amount would do alright.
Sorry I can't be of more help

What type of fixture is the 150w MH in?
I have a 65gal and have 2x150w 10K MH with 42w of t-5 actinic. I have over a dozen sps corals in my tank now with more coming this week.
Start with montipora caps and see how they do. Theyre a good starter sps.
The most important thing with sps, next to the light, is that you keep pH, temp, calc, alk, and mag stable and at the correct parameters. Also, your nitrate and phosphate should be zero or very close to it. So make sure those are all in check and you should be good to go.
Good luck
