Once in a great while my overflow will get an air bubble in it and the water will rise, luckily I have caught it everytime so far. A rubber made tub is fine. I would use 6500k pc or t5 lighting, no need for the flood lights.
Floods are FAR cheaper! the fixture is 4 bucks at walmart and even at 10 bucks for 2 bulbs Still FAR cheaper even that Aquatraders.com

4x fixture 12.00

2x2pack bulbs 20.00

total 32.00 for about 300watts of light
