Yes, I did keep all of that SPS under 130W PCs. I had pretty good growth out of most of the stuff, although things have brighten up more and grow a bit faster under MH now. Also, I attempted to keep acros at one point under the PCs but they all would brown out and grow very little. The exception was the Nathan's green millipora that grew pretty well, but was pretty brown the entire time.

The bigger problem with SPS in a small tank IMO was Ca and Alk issue. It is tough to keep these guys high in such a small water volume. I used kalk water as my top off and got my alk under control late in the game with Kent alk (just recently started using Randy's two part, great recipe, wish I had in sooner).
