There are tons of SPS T5 lit tanks that have some amazing colors. Bulbs that emit more par are helpful, individual reflectors, overdriving bulbs with ballasts increase par, etc.. But then again you haven't listed how deep your tank is, or tank specs which also helps in the determining process.

You should be able to keep SPS in the top part of your reef. Wouldn't hurt to have a 6 bulb fixture, but as long as you stay up high, you can sustain them under that much light...
