I'm planning on setting up a new 60 cube (24x24x24) over Christmas and need to know if the ati sunpower 4x24 will be enough light to keep sps corals. I know having more light is a great thing but I found a rocking deal on Craigslist for $100 and ill save a lot of Money this way. I'll be running in order back to front these bulbs. Ati blue plus, ati purple pus, ati aqua blue special, and ati blue plus. Thanks every one
 
Yes you will absolutely be able to grow SPS. The Sunpowers are very bright, so be sure to acclimate corals accordingly. That's a great selection of bulbs as well.

I have one brand new in box for sale on the Selling Forums here, but not $100 ;) Make sure everything is working properly on that light (ballasts, fan, etc.) and reflectors are in good shape as that price is an absolute steal!
 
You can grow SPS for sure! However I recommend getting a 6 bulb fixture. The reasoning: I have a cube as well 24x24x20, I have a 4 bulb fixture and I have shaded areas because the 4bulbs don't get enough spread. I just bought a 2 bulb fixture to add to the mix.
 
I am not really sure with just 4 bulbs on a 24" tall tank. Not even sure a 6 bulbs either. Most people go with a 8 bulbs T5 on such a tall cube.
 
I would go with the ATI 4 bulb fixture. You can always add reef bright strips onto each side of the light for LED supplement and more lighting. (they look slick) I will buy that light for $100 if you don't. That is a screaming deal!
