Probably will do fine and 4 VHO's would be great too.

I have 4X 65w power compact lights on my 46g Zooanthid and riochordia tank. if i were you i would forget a bout the power compacts and go with at least a 400w VHO lighting setup on a 90g tank. or better yet is metal halide lights if your budget allows you to do that.
Good luck
