250's too much for zoa's/rics?

[reefer_for_life]

im setting up a 65gallon tank (36x18x24), im wanting to keep zoa's, rics and sps corals. was all set on 175watters when i first started planning, but now that ive had time to think about it im not sure if i shouldnt go with 250's. would the 250's be too strong for zoa's and rics on a 24" deep tank? im going to run a 10k coralvue bulb, with 4x95watt VHO actinics. also, im going to have 2 4" icecap fans in the canopy. will the fans be enough to keep the temp down for 250's? what would be the best way to configure my fans? both blowing in? one blowing in, the other pulling air out? the canopy is going to have an open back, with light diffuser for the back of the canopy. any help suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.

250 is fine

250's are fine
175's are fine
150 DE's will work

How much of an electric bill do you want?

I am growing a bunch of zoos and a couple rics under 250w MH, growing very well.
