I was planning to have an sps dominant tank, however I love acans, brains, and a few other lps. Is there any problems with having a thriving sps tank with some lps in the tank or should I just spread them out? I have not intention of having softies after a problem with xenia and colt coral taking over my last tank. thanks.

No probelm. You will have to give some of those LPS a wide berth though. Corals like a torch, frogspawn, galaxea can put out some nasty sweeper tentacles. Brains, acans, not so much.

Yup just give them room so nobody is touching and you will be good.

+1 on the extra space between. Although, if you've never seen 1 coral overtake another, it can be quite impressive to watch. I had an encrusting Monti once that was very invasive and it didnt matter how much space i gave it, it would eventually close the gap.
