Im using a reefbreeders Photon V2+ light over my 75 gallon. Its going to be an SPS reef. there are a few SPS frags in there now. Im going tobe keeping mostly acropora and will occasionally feed reef roids (about once a week). Is this par high enough? It gets this par shown for 5 hours a day, then a slightly less par for 4 hours.
How Does this Par Look?

Looks pretty good 
Nice even spread of par across your rockwork. Should make your SPS very happy

And its okay that I am only using LEDs right? I see a lot of people who use LED and T5 but can't seem to pinpoint online if its necessary to have both

Yes, LED only is more than capable of handling SPS. T5 is great for issues with shadowing. But if you have a fixture that runs the length of your tank, it shouldn't be an issue.

Looks good and is pretty similar to the levels I'm growing sps in my tank. All sps except milleporas have done well for me in the 250-350 range. I had to move all my milles up to 400 + par range to get them to grow so you will probably want to plant any of these in the 400 par spot.
