With very good water quality and flow some monties might do alright very high up in the tank, not many acros. Many encrusting monties might do well but the blue/purple will have a hard time holding their color imo. just my .02c
happy reefing! mntl

SPS can be kept with only T5, I just found better growth and better overall color when I switched to MH.

FWIW I have 96 Watts of T5 over a 24" deep 40 gallon, Monti's, green slimer and some other assorted acros (not very up on the names and such) from mid-level up and they are doing very well, colors holding and plenty of growth, maybe not super growth but definately good growth.
