Finnex 30 gallon M-tank lighting help

I just ordered a Finnex 30 gallon yesterday and I would like some help in deciding which lights to purchase. Finnex offers both a 150 and 250 MH that are supplemented by ~50 watts T5s. Isn't the 250 overkill?

I am looking at the Current USA 24 inch Outer Orbit
Here are the two models:

One is a 150 watt and the other is a 250. Both are supplemented by ~100 watts T5s. Is the 250 overkill?

I want to keep SPS, zoas, clams, and perhaps an anemone...basically, I do not want to be limited by the light. Thanks in advance.
