I suppose that would depend on how tall the tank is. My first guess is that you will be fine. You can always hang the light higher or lower above the tank.

I have a 250 watt MH over my 28g tank that is 12" high, the light sits about 5" above. Works well for me.

I would only be worried about heat. Watch your thermometer carefully, and be sure it's accurate as well!
For flow...what kind of corals are you planning? That Prism protein skimmer isn't particularly effective. If you're planning a full blown reef you may want to replace that with a more effective brand.
