which tank size for 1x150W HQI + 2x24W T5 (25"6)?

Hi all,

Recently i bought this 1x150W HQi + 2x24W T5 lamp (22"6) for a reasonable price on ebay.

The HQi is 10000 K and the T5 are 20000 K

I want to set up a nano reef with it and have a tank custom made for this purpose that is somewhat cubical (As a european i don't have access to many of those ready made tanks all you american guys are using).

now as being a noob to nano reefs, my question is : Which tank size and measurements would be ideal for this lamp?

I've been thinking about keeping softies, zoanthids and the occasional clam on the sessile invertebrate side of things.

As far as filtration is concerned I want to run it with the tunze nano reefpack 200 (Nano DOC Skimmer 9002 & Nano Cleaner 3165) and lots of live rock.

As for pump (i want to use a tunze nanostream) and thermometer (Jaeger) wattage, that would depend on which tank size you might suggest. Any ideas what would be appropriate?

Advice would be much appreciated1x150W HQi + 2x24W T5 lamp (22"6)
