would a 150w make it to hott on the tank??

could i just keep the light higher above the surface then usual...so i would not want to get a fan

i want to try and stay away from a fan?

if that is to much then....would the 70 w be better

With a 75 watt, you are still getting 12.5 watts per gallon. A 150 might be overkill.
