Ron,
To be honest, looks like you got just about everything covered to plant some plants! Do you plan on using DIY CO2? if you do, I can help you will a recipe and walk you though that.
As far as plants go, Sue package would really be a great starter package. So you just might want to consider bidding on that.
As far as using shop lites they work great. You are just going to have to see if you need more light, add the extra lite. It also depends on how far the light is from the top of the tank too. Mine hangs about 2" about the glass tops. I have to remove the light to work on the tank.
Any other questions feel free to ask. That is all I can think of at the moment. Planted tanks are the best! But they do require a little more upkeep. But the pleasure I get from mine are well worth it.
Hope I helped some,
Kathy
