29 gal Nano tank lighting

Ok, so I am setting up a 29 gal 'ish nano. Measurements are l/w/h 24"/12"/20". I was looking at gwen's old thread and noticed that she had the supod 150 watt hqi on her 10 gal nano. Since my tank is twice hers, could I get away with the sunpod 250 watt Hqi lamp?? My tank is 20" deep I want to penetrate to the bottom for clams but dont want to risk overkill on light intensity, what are your thoughts?

Secondly, does anyone know if the sunpod can go directly over an open top tank. What do people do with 'reef lights' that say it 'should' be over a glass canopy. That's not really very practical. Producers should know this stuff or maybe it's a blanket cover their butts statement. It is as practical as hair dryer instructions stating to not use while sleeping.

here is a link to gwen's tank and her sunpod
Gwen's 12gal Nano

Thanks for your thoughts
