Is this too much light for my 46 gallon bowfront?? any help appreciated.

[clowngyrl]

I have a 46 gallon bowfront tank setup and need to get a good light for it. I plan on getting an anemone, percula clownfish, and corals.
I like the current usa 36" 300 watt sunpod metal halide with lunar lights
Is this going to be too much light for my 46 gallon or will it be okay? Or should i get something with less watts?
Thanks in advance for any help regarding this light or suggestions if you know of a different light that i should consider getting.

Okay i just didnt want it to be too much as far as heating up the tank too much because i dont have a chiller.
Thanks.

Not to sure......what kind of corals do you want to keep???
You will be limited with that set up. Coralmorphs and softies is really about it for that lighting. Maybe some LPS. Once I really started learning about this hobby I fell in love with SPS corals and they require sick lighting....
