Montipora Questions

[Reefsi]

I have about 6 different montis in my tank. Today I moved a couple so they dont shade out my acros, which need to be a little higher in the tank i believe. My question is with 3 150w 20k MH and 4 96w 50/50 power compacts will my montis be ok 5 inches above my sand bed? The tank is 18 inches deep and i would say they are about 20 inches from the lights. They are montipora capricornis, one is green the other is red, they both have full polyp extension in the current position. Will they still flourish and remain with the deep color?


I have over 8watts per gallon.
