Prop Tank Set Up...Suggestions on Lighting?

I am considering making my 55 gallon freshwater tank, into a saltwater prop tank. I'm trying to make this as cheap as possible seeing as how I am a poverty stricken college student. My set up will consist of:

Filtration:
Emperor 500 Bio Wheel Filter

Skimmer:
Aqua C Remora

Substrate:
Live Sand

Lighting:
T8 fixture from Lowes. Buying coral life bulbs from Hellolights, three Actinic and one daylight.

The most controversal part of this whole set up are the lights, do you think that I can make an effective prop tank with a T8 fixture from Lowes and the bulbs from coral life?
