Hi,

I have a spot in my tank that’s about 6 inches under the water surface, and my MH bulb sits about 5 inches above the water surface (so it’s about 11 inches from the MH to the spot on my rock). My question is, what kind of SPS would do well with this high of light? (The MH bulb is a 250w 12k)

Currently, I have a Milli, some montipora, and a few acros that are growing and doing well around that area, but I’m looking for some kind of SPS that will thrive in that particular spot. I tried a bird nest there and it got fried (was able to move it down and save it). Anyway, i was wanting to put another Milli there or something.

Any info helps!

Thank you
