Will this Metal Halide setup work?

I want to add corals to my established tank. I am looking for a hight output light and dont want the algae my current lights are putting out. I have pc that put out 330 watts. Would a MH canopy with dual 175W 10K bulbs along with a 2 bulb PC canopy support good coral growth outside of shrooms and the basics. What does everyone else use for their specific coral needs?

Assuming your tank isn't a tall tank it sounds good to me.
It should be around the foot distance, plus or minus some, off of the water.
