I haven't measured but they're about 7-9" away from the surface and the tank is 24". Not that different. If your going to ramp it up do it slowly over about a month. If any of the corals show signs of stress, move them down or leave the LEDs at their previous power setting.
I have several large LPS colonies, Umbrella toadstools, nepthea, zoas, palys, and I used to have an rbta.
I'm definitely an SPS ADDICT.

Here's the thread I had on it a while back.
A lot of people come to pick up frags from me and have the idea that LED's won't grow SPS coral. After looking at my old pics to now they definitely do! Whether its faster or slower than other lighting I think depends on the system. Here is a pic of one of my SPS that I was recently trying to ID. This is when I got it: And this is 5 months later: I will post more when I get home but feel free to post any of your LED SPS success!
