Default Regular fluorescent lights

Can i buy standard fluorescent lights from a place like home depot and use them on my fishtank. My balast blew on my old lihgt. So now i need another 6' fixture and it would be a fraction of the cost if i bought everything from homedepot.

My only concern would be that the lightsd would get too hot. But the tank has glass tops and i could build some kind of stand to hold the lights about a 12' over the glass tops. Would this work?
