It should not be trip, but fickle....

Most of the time it is the ballast.... Off the MH and monitor... See for one day and see if it happens again.... No light will not kill the coral.

Live Stock:

Turbo Snail x 1, Green Mandarin Dragonet X 2, Blue Tang X 2, True percular x 2, 1 x Algae Bleenie, Clarke clown x 2

Reef:

1 x 2" Blue maxima, Red/Brown/Purple Mushroom (Discosoma), Pink Ricordea yuma, A little colony Brown/Green common Zoanthus, Red/Pink/Green US Zoanthus, Eagle-eye Zoathus, 14 Branch Goniopora Pandoraensis, 1 Starburst Polyps, 3 + 2 Branch Frogspawn, 4 Blasto, palythoa, Cheato

Are you using extension cord? It may have some kind of fuse/switch that when heat up will cut off and connect again when cool down. You may have equipment drawing high current. I suggest you isolate one by one. connect one equipment to another power source and observe.
