please, advice needed regarding this MH setup

What K bulbs do you plan to run? If you want 20K I would say 400W is probably about right, if you want to run 10K 250W would be plenty.

i was gonna run 10k's. i want to keep SPS and multiple clams so more light would be better wouldn't it? it's also a 24" tall tank so....
 
I think 250 watt 10 or 14K bulbs would be adequate over a 24 inch deep tank, but 3 X 400 watts is fine, though more expensive to operate. Just my opinion.
 
For 10K, especially something like an XM 10K and since you are not going to have a chiller I would definitally get the 250's It should be plenty of light to grow acros on the bottom of the tank.

Just get decent reflectors, and not just a flat sheet.
