Those are my answers to the posed questions, but I really should have just answered:  250W 10Ks for 10 hrs to both questions

Dang, now I'm really confused.  Those were the exact opposite answers I was expecting from Jon.

Would you rather run a 250 watt halide on your tank for 6 hours OR run a 150 watt halide on your tank for 10 hours?

150 for 10 hrs

Would you rather run a 150 watt 10k bulb or a 250 watt 20k bulb?

250 watt 20K

The heat issues scare me. (especially since I don't have a thermometer)

It really shouldn't be a problem.  Fans will fix any problem you might encounter.  If you don't already have an auto top-off I can build you one, cause your going to evaporate lots of water.  Adam, a thermometer is like $3, it's a good thing to have.

Okay I know you guys are tired of my lighting questions but I'm going to as another one. 

Would you rather run a 250 watt halide on your tank for 6 hours OR run a 150 watt halide on your tank for 10 hours?
Would you rather run a 150 watt 10k bulb or a 250 watt 20k bulb?
I still can't decide if I should add another 150 watt halide or just add a 250 watt halide.  The heat issues scare me. (especially since I don't have a thermometer)
