Are pc lights ok with SPS corals?

[inline6]

Are pc lights ok with SPS corals? I have a 12g nano cube modified to 15g.
Is it possible to put a acropora coral at the very top? is it going to just get by w/that type of lighting and not grow?
I currently have a 96w pc light from coralife.
Also is 70w metal halide too much?

Any input would be greatly appreciated
TIA

Some low light SPS can be kept under PC with decent sucess. But you will definatley get better colorations using MH. And for 15 gallon, I would actually suggest 150W MH rather then 70W. Often times, it cheaper to get 150W setup then 70W, and you have MUCH MUCH more choice when it comes to bulbs.

Thanks

Inline,

Not sure you can get away with acropora under that power quad - montiporas, maybe, but not acropora.
