Planning to do a predominantly LPS tank (Acans, Blastos, Goni, Euphyllia). Will potentially add SPS in the future depending on if I can get sufficient par without bleaching out the LPS.

I plan to add a few goni on the flat floating shelf to the top right. Euphyllia will be lower middle, and Acan/Blastos near the bottom of the scape.

Will it be possible to balance par and add some Monti or Acro in the middle top of the structure? I have not picked out a light, but leaning towards (1) or (2) XR 15s or (1) XR30. The tank is only 16 inches deep, and there is approximately 5 inches of depth from the bottom of the floating shelf to water line.
