lighting question

[lougotzz]

I am setting up a oceanic bio cube 29 gallon aquarium. Its gonna have mostly LPS and soft corals in it, but I also want clams. Also, some of the LPS corals I am going to have are going to include:

Sun coral
Hammer coral
Frogspawn
Green and Reg Brain
Xenia
Sponges (not sure if thats considered a coral)
rose anemone
Blastomussa merletti
Maze brain

assorted zoanthids.

(not added in that order)

The light upgrade from nanotuners offers me a 70W metal halide upgrade, and a 150W metal halide upgrade. Is the 70W going to be enough for the above listed inhabitants? Or would you go for the 150W?

Thanks.

I would go with the 150 watt HQI. That would be a better choice IMO for a 29 gallon tank. 70 watt would be a bit too low especially if you want to keep clams.
