Does anyone have a tall tank (36") with LEDs and able to keep SPS?

Check out the AI thread for some PAR values. I have gotten the AI sol blues and plan to get them running soon and then see what kind of PAR I get on the sand bed, but what I've read so far shows great par at 24 inches. You might have to put some of the higher light SPS higher up in the tank but you could probably pull it off.

There was a guy in the AI thread by CalmSeas I think who has a really tall custom cylinder that was running LEDS and had Clams doing well on the sand.

I have a 31" tank with AI's and have no problem at all keeping sps on the bottom. In fact I dont think even 400w MH compare to the PAR penetration of the AI's. Sanjay did an article on the AI PAR, some crazy numbers.
