24" 150w with 4 T5's enough?
For a 30" deep tank?
Geisemann Infinity 150w MH with 4 T5's on a 30" cube. Thanks in advance!

For SPS, no.
For most others, yes.

Not even SPS in say the top 10"?
Can the fixture run a 250w bulb?

It can be done but will depend on the bulb you use. Par is not a function of wattage, a properly setup 150 watt can and does best a poorly setup 250 or 400 watt. Use a 10K bulb and use the T5's to supplement and you will be fine. There are many many examples of 150's growing SPS nicely on the sandbed of tall tanks.

Phoenix will have more par, by a lot unless you run the Radium.
