Default 20" Sunpod 150w?

I have a chance to pick up a 20" Sunpod 150w MH with mounting parts for $150 this weekend. What would be the best size tank to match this with? I'd put it on one of my Aquapod 12's but it seems like 150w would be overkill for that tank.

You could try a 10 or 15 gallon. I know its not much of a difference. I have a sunpod over my 12, and it rules! They stopped making the 20" 70w ones b/c people wanted more
'power', and baught the 150w one instead...

150w seems like a lot for a 12 gal but it would be nice to have one tank for brighter light corals.

I had a 175 over my 29g when it was set up, along with some pcs.. It was nice, not really overkill b/c the height of the tank..

I'm picking it up tomorrow can't pass up the deal. Going to put it on the tank in the living room with some higher light corals. That tri color you have Jim would be happy in that tank.

As well as the orange monti (have some small frags) and the idaho grape i found lol! That's not a bad deal on the light, i was trying to sell my 175 mh for like 80 tho.. Its pretty heavy but im sure i could fit it in a flat rate box..

Picked up the Sunpod today. Has a 1 month old Coralife 14k in it. Man it is like the sun over the 12 gallon Aquapod. Now I want a 24 gallon Aquapod to put it over Love the shimmer effect. Looks like some of the moon LEDS are hanging over the edge of the tank.
