Generally speaking, power compacts are not very good for growing SPS corals. Not to say that it can't be done, just that you would have much better success with metal halides, vho's, or T5HO's. You could probably keep some low light SPS at the very top of your tank directly underneath your bulbs in an area of high flow, but your results would be arguably better under more powerful lighting.
