If you double that you might be ok.I used to have 2 X175's and 2 X65 PC's over my 75..but to tell you the truth I really was'nt happy with the color or growth until I went up to 2 X250's and 4 X110 super actinic VHO's.JMO

he said if you buy 2- 175w you have a chance, but recomends 2-250w

I'd stick with the 10K over the 20K..I'm sure you can still keep any LPS and maybe a few sps under that bulb any clams going to have to get under the bulb and up a little higher in the tank.
You can keep all the clamps you want just make sure their the plastic ones
