I need some help with this decision. 36"x36"x12" frag tank, Almost all SPS (gonna be at least 95% SPS). I want good growth and great color. And how high should I hang the fixture? Thanks
 
this thread should help you out with your answer. any other questions let me know. my answers are in the last page the picture of the bulb combo is mine.

great growth and color out of them .

for your tank , How high is your frag rack and how low below the water surface is your SPS gonna be sitting.

If your SPS going to be sitting at least 6" below the water surface, i would have the fixture 15" above the water line. 19" start off for a few, work your coral in then drop down no lower then 15" .

we have a 48x24x12 , our fixture cause of the output its a48" 8bulb it is sitting 17".
 
I run
Dusk/Dawn 2 Blue +
Daylight 2 Coral + ONe Purple + and 3 more BLue +.
That's my preference.
I also have a build my LED Actinic strip that is on a couple hours longer by itself. The UV glow is crazy.
