Trying to make sense of all this

I have a 150g long so it is 72" long and top of water to sand depth is 24"

I have a hemmerhead and some xenia but thats it but plan to add more and want to make sure I am prepared for it.

For now I would like to know if I should go with 3x250, 2x400 or 3 x 400. My tank also has a brace in the middle but I was considering replacing it with a 1/2" x 1" brace so i would not see the shadow if running a light over the center.

Also SE or DE?

I am having a canopy built so height is open right now and running a chiller is not a problem.

thanks
