What SPS can I grow 23 inches down from 250w Phoenix 14k with 4 T5's? Anything that will get good color? My tank is ~43 gallons with an ~8 gallon sump. I have awesome colors on the high and middle SPS but need some suggestions for the bottom. Thanks.

Sorry...I'm a little confused about what you asking, but I'll take a crack at it.
With 250w Phoenix 14k with 4 T5's at 23inches you can grow anything. If your having issues it's not the lights. My tank is over 23in deep and with the same combo my sps grew like weeds.

Confused? Its just a question. NASO - I know you have some knowledge here. I have not ventured into the lower regions of my LR for SPS placement. Trust me my tank is very very stable. So I am asking what SPS are are good for lower regions of the tank based on my lighting system. Sounds like anything.

Anything. But low light sps would be birdsnests and montiporas

Im using the 250 watt phoenix 14k and my tank is 21 inches deep and the reflector is about 9 inches above the surface.Mushrooms and some zoas. can not tolerate it,even some of the deep water acros.

some montipora caps would do well. The orange/red, green, and purple variety are all colorful.

Pretty much anything you want in a nut shell.
