20" Sunpod light

[nano-newb1983]

Im ordering a 150W Mh 20" sunpod. should i stick with that one or spring the extra $50 or so and get the 250W? Its goin on a JBJ 24G nano cube. I dont wanna limit the corals because of lacking light.
or will the 150w be good enough for anything?
Thanks

The 150 is plenty for anything you want. I have it over my 29 bio cube. I actually think 250 might be too much depending on what your keeping. Save the $50 and spend it on a coral for your new lights.. IMO your all set.

I dont think that will work at all bob. It might either immediately blow the bulb or not start at all.
All to the OPs issue, 150w is plenty of light to keep whatever you want in a 24.
