I'm trying to decide between a IceCap Ballast and Pendant. Should I go with a 150w or 175w ? I was thinking about the 250w but was worried about heat issues and want to avoid a chiller.

This will be my first time dealing with SPS also, I'm mainly shooting for SPS and clams in this tank. Will I be able to keep them in the bottom of the tank or will they need to be placed high.

Thanks for any input.

For those not familiar, the tank is 20 squared and will be running open top.

I'd stick with 175 to be safe but evaporation may be a small problem, but easily fixed with freshwater additions

175....might assist in eliminate shading problems I experience with a 150w over a 30g. clams can go in the bottom, but sps should still be kept mid high.
