Question About My Lighting

I am new to the hobby and going to upgrade my lighting so that I can add some beginner corals. I was thinking about this light setup. I have a 125 gallon (60 x 18 x 24 deep). Opinions greatly appreciated.
Outer Orbit HQI/Compact Fluorescent/Lunar Fixture
* Combination high output Metal Halide aquarium light fixture
* Internal electronic ballast eliminates aquarium equipment clutter
* Features more lunar lights for better nocturnal aquarium viewing
Microprocessor controlled internal electronic ballast means no bulky remote ballast assemblies. Sleek, self-contained fixture minimizes clutter while providing the combined light output of metal halide and compact fluorescent bulbs. Plus more lunar lights to provide an atmospheric nocturnal viewing environment. Features integrated cooling fans, parabolic reflector, protective splash lens, two timers, two independent on/off switches, and two 72" power cords. Includes docking mounts and hanging bracket (can be set atop canopy or hung from ceiling), appropriate number of 150 watt PowerPaq 10000°K HQI double ended bulb(s) and Dual 460nm/420nm Actinic square pin compact fluorescent bulbs. 15" x 4-1/4" high.
Thanks for any advice offered.

If you go too hot you might need a chiller or a small fan.
I have corallifes 250s MH with 96 watters w/ moons on timers with dual chillers
(210 reef)
150s MH with 96 watters w/ moons on timers on (100 Gal muti purpose tank)
