Please help need lighting advice

I am setting up a frag tank that will be plumbed into my main system. I am using a 20 gal high and it will be in a closet that backs up to my dt. I definitely want to do some sps. What kind of lighting do you suggest. I was going to use a 150 MH but I think it might generate too much heat. I could keep the door open or take it off and I could also put a fan in there. I plan on lighting it when the dt is off so it might not be a problem. what do you guys think?

I'd look into some LED options. One 60W cree classic from eshinesystems would do the trick nicely.

I wasn't really considering led because I've heard that sps don't do well under them? I have never used them, but if you guys think they are ok I'll try them.

Check out his setup, still new but his corals are responding nicely.

Here is another guy having good luck with this lighting setup.

Anyone else have any input? I think I'm leaning towards the mh 150 watt
