I've never owned SPS or much of it I should say. I am not a rookie with coral, just always had LPS and softies. Im basically looking for some recommendations. Medium to high end pieces.

If you haven't had sps before, less expensive is best. No sense in setting yourself up with disappointment in loosing medium/high-end corals right away. It is best to dip your feet with a few inexpensive corals like a monti, birdsnest or even green slimmer. All can be beautiful additions to any tank and give you practice before jumping into tougher options. Sps corals don't have to be difficult to keep, but it is always wise to take a patient approach when you decide to try them.

I picked up a monti and birdnest, along with a few other pieces. I put them all at or close to the top. I have three radios over my 6 foot tank, about 8 inches off. The led's are around 75-90% with an intensity of 75%.
From monti experience - you will want it somewhere where it has space and won't shade a lot underneath it as it gets bigger. I keep a lot of my montis around the lower 1/2 to bottom of tank.
