Default Upgrading my Lighting

So I've been running my 1x96w 50/50 since I started my tank, but as you know, it ain't bright enough.

I picked up 2x 175w Bulbs, and a Custom Sea Life ballast to run them from Lostmind (feel free to chime in here, if I mentioned the wrong stuff!).

I want to add actinic's as well. The setup will be 48" long. A quick stop by JL, and I was recommended to go with:

Hagen GloMat 2 Electronic Double Fluorescent / 40W Dual Bulb Electronic Ballast Kit



And for bulbs, the Philips, 48" - 40W Actinic Fluorescent Bulbs.

Think that should be good enough? I doubt I would go with anything more than the 175w in the future (however don't quote me on that ). I will most likely be building my own hanging canopy that is about 3-5" above the surface of the water.
