low light SPS???

[supernareg]

what are some low light SPS? that will do well under good water param but lighting is (1) 10k and (1) 50/50 65watt PCs totalling 130watts, in a 26 gallon tank.

tank is 17" high, but since i have a DSB the SPS will be sitting at around 6-8 inches under the water line (top) and the lighting is 2 inches above the water line.

SPS will sit around the hydno and the acros in the middle of the tank

Monti digis seem to require more light than monti caps based on my personal experience but both will do better if more light is available. I would not recommend putting any SPS in "low light" reefs, unless you consider 175 MH low light lamps? Under ideal conditions, however, both digis and caps would quickly outgrow a 26 gallon tank. I wouldn't add any SPS until you add some more lights and water flow.

can try pavona, porites or stylopora

Porites Coral requires a high light level combined with strong water movement.

Before you try adding any new coral to your system, it may be wise to do a little research first. Low light and SPS usually don't mix well (emphasis added).

Frankly speaking not recommend anything. If your parameter is perfect and very stable they can just survive not gorw under pc light. But yours are 26 gal means small and less stable. If you wanna sps upgrade your light first.
