So now that i got my nitrate issue taken care of i am ready to take the plundge with SPS again. What are some SPS that i could place lower in my tank?

Lighting 2 Reef Radiance Lumentek 120 LEDs
 
Some monti's rquire moderate lighting and I believe pectinias can go low too but maybe not too low depending on the depth of your tank and your lighting
 
I just have a standard 75 gallon so 21" high. Running 132 total watts of LED's (Each unit 44x3watts)
 
Pavona and Leptoseris are also quite light adaptable. True Deepwater Acros can do great under moderate light and moderate-high flow. Some of the smaller polyp 'LPS' would do well such as Cyphastrea and Leptastrea.
 
It depends how much par you getting at the bottom of your tank. I get 220-280 and can grow any acro frag on my sand bed. Somebody with only 20 par on their sand can not.
