250 Watt metal halide be enough for a 75 gallon

[pondy]

I was just wondeering if a 250 metal halide would be enough light so that I could haave clams and sps corals In my 75 gallon reef tank. I will also have some VHO's but I was just wondering if I could use one 250 watt, or if It would be better to go with a couple 150.

You could go with the 250 and put the clam directly underneath it... but you couldn't put it anywhere else. You would be better off with 2 250's whenever you get to the point to where you can afford them. I would just stick with the one for now.
