T5 Lighting question

I posted this in Grimreefer's thread but thought I would get a few more opinions before I spend some money.

Currently, I am running over my 24g Aquapod:

Actinic+
KZ Purple
Actinic+
Aquablue+

All bulbs have SLRs and two ballast powering two bulbs each.

Right now, all I have in the tank is zoas and acans. Everything is doing great. However, I want to expand a little and add SPS and maybe a clam. Question is, do I have enough output from this set of bulbs to support SPS and a clam? Coral placement would be about ten inches or so below water. Clam would probably be on the sand bed, about 16 inches below water.

Thanks,
-Josh

Yes you do. If you want more PAR swich over to the ATI Blue Plus in place of the actinic plus.

Thats what I read from Grimreefer's study. Guess I will try it out and when I change out bulbs, I will replace with ATI.
