depending on what you are keeping will work depending on what you are going to keep and where the placement is

That 150w halide will be at the center of 3 feet. So yeah, it all depends on what you're going to keep and where. All that aside, maybe 250w would be better for 24" height. But again like the last poster said, it depends on what you're keeping.

I keep mostly sps, and I would trade my Tek T5 for this light, and then I could simply change the ballast to IC 250 if need be.

I'll also be purchasing 3 clams and a RBTA.

i have the same size tank and i had a similar fixture and in my opinion, the 150 watts wasn't enough light. I switched out to just one large lumenarc pendant with a single ended 250 watt bulb and all my corals are growing much better and my light bill is down significantly also.

For sps you need 4 to 5 watts per gallon, lps 2 to 4
