250w is alot, you going with a 20L, 20H or 20XH? with that much light your gonna have to invest in a chiller and possible ATO. I would just do the 150w MH and the softies should be fine.

I agree to the above post, 250w is over kill for that size tank. Save your money and go with 150 or 175w.

Get a 14k 150W bulb and you'll be fine. You won't need any additional supplementation from the PC's.
