I actually had really good success with SPS under the PC's but they were always no more than 8-10 inches from the light. Some species I have had for at least 6 months with only PC's. Keep it high on the light and in strong flow.
I'll work on that picture for you Mark.

One question for you. How high above the waterline are you metal halide bulbs? I'm getting some next week and I noticed my PC's are only 6" above the waterline. Is that enough?

The bottom of the halide bulbs are approx 6 inches from the acrylic and the water line is usually 1 inch below that. I have 3 4 inch fans blowing in the canopy. Without them I think the acrylic would get pretty hot.
