with proper water quality and placement you CAN keep just about anything you want with the 70 halide with the expection of a few of the most demanding sps corals. over all though you will not be limited by much at all. 150 is nice and i have the 150 but it is over kill. I got it just because i had a chance at getting it for the same price. otherwise i would have gone 70. the stock hood installations from nano customs.
I maintained one for a customer for about a year that was full blown sps that ran on the 70 halide. great growth color and health.
as a side note with the high flow hood fans i also saw almost no change in temp even with the full factory hood.
