Nice start on the tank. For the lighting may I suggest you put a timer on each of the plugs and set one to turn on for about 4.5 hours and then shut off and have the other come on for another 4.5 hours to give you kind of a dawn to dusk effect. I do the same with mine but instead of one turning off at mid day I run all 4 for a few hours for a "noon burst". I don't suggest that for you because I have co2 and dose fertilizers too otherwise you will have algae problems.
