Default Thinking of an SPS or two

I have seen a couple sps corals that I really would like to get, however the wattage in my tank is only 4.5 per gallon. Is it possible, if I put the coral at the top, for it to stay alive in my tank?

SPS is a pretty broad term, and different sps have dofferent lighting requirements. What kind of sps?

And what type of lighting do you have?

EDIT: Never mind. I see that this post was started 5 months ago.
