MH under a 6" hood

Is it possible to put some 175W MH under a 6"canopy or is that asking for problems? I have 440W of PC lights but everyone says how good MH is but since the tank is in my dining room with a hood on it I want to make sure it still looks nice and not have to hang the MH from the ceiling. Am I better off sticking with the PC or maybe (1) 175w MH in the center and then use the PC to run along the front or back of the tank? Just trying to increase my lighting without getting carried away and keeping everything looking nice and fitting under the hood:thinking:

run the 250w de hqi low profile only 3.5 inch tall
has glass in front for slash guard(uv protection)
great results just add fan for heat
