As far as the LED's and performance of these lights with SPS, i can say for sure that these lights are good enough to support SPS, if you have enough coverage and penetration, just as you would need with any fixture. All of the SPS's that i've bought were either brown, or very pale when i bought them, and now have colored up really nicely. Even some ORA Red Planet that my LFS sold, which was white with a pink tint on it, has turned to a deep green with pink polyps. The only thing i will say is that i would suggest adding some red LED's or something because it seems like all my "red" Acans have turned orange, and almost all of my SPS's are green/blue/purple.(Could be because the sps that i have are just naturally that way, not too experienced with SPS) Also, my Red bubble tip anemone has turned into a rose bubble time anemone. Not sure if that's what it's original color was, but it looks healthy as ever, and my clown is having a hell of a time in it. Over all i'm extremely happy with how all of my corals are coloring up. So if your worried about the ability of these LED's to keep sps and other corals alive, don't be. I'd be more worried about trying to get the right penetration and spread for your tank size.
