lighting 54 corner

i had a 250SE over my 29.. i just got a 54 corner which came with a 175SE 10K USHIO.. unfortunately my 250 ballast crapped out on me(dont know why, lights the bulb very very dim if at all).. would a 175 over a 54 corner sufficient??it covers the entire tank and all SPS are directly under center and not off to the sides.. i believe the tank is 22 inches deep.. pendant is about 8 inches off the water..so all SPS are roughly 20 inches away.. what do you think??

I ran a mixed reef in one with just a 175. Had acros in the center, and they grew well.
