a system LIKE that would be a great setup, but i would try to find a brand that you can trust, one that youve heard of, certain things you dont want to skimp on, and thats usually lights and a skimmer, im sure you can get incontact with a local reef club, and find a nice set up that is used. 175w wouldnt hurt your zoo's at all, or your mushrooms for that matter, even if you keep them all the way up, they will adjust to the higher light and thrive nicely.

250w would be better, but you might run into heat issues, and end up looking for a chiller. so a 175 is great. never seen a 200 though.

im also not aware of the exact dimensions of your tank, if its longer then 2', getting a could t5's or pc's to run with the mh would be a very good idea too.
