I was wondering if my lights are good enough for sps? the info I found out online was that I should be able to do some but near the top of the tank? There are 3 fixtures of LEDs 6 white and 4 blue in each one. and they are skkye lights, by innovative. 8 watt 10k I think? Also any tips on keeping SPS alive and growing? I have a 16 gal. tank and never have tried SPS.

My thought would be try and get a small piece of birds nest or another cheap sps and put it as high as possible. Before I got my ai sol blue I had a red monti up as high as I could under my 2 36 way oc. I think you would be ok!!

Cannot Succeed if you don't try.LOL
Lighting is only part of the Addiction.
Water quality-Water Consistency.(Alk-Cal-Mag-phos-Temp Salinity and lighting you know the basics. I assume?). Not to mention how they are first Accilmated to your lights. If you can meet these basics than your are half way to spending even more money. I do like  my Colorful Hairy Crayons so some of the kids call them.
