that will be a good size for when they're older, but for now you should put them in a smaller tank, 20-50 gallons maybe so that they can find their food and so you can monitor them.

for lighting, i'm not exactly sure, but not florescents, you will need a flood or spot, probally flood. zoomed makes an awsone lood for 50$, you only need to chang it once a year. thats what i use and they are amazing! i ordered mine from their catalog, you can go to their webite and order one for free. i would suggest getting two though because of the size of the tank and because you are getting two. - do you know the sex of the ones you're getting?

for light cycles:
14 hours light in summer
12 or 13 hours light in sping
10 hours light in winter
12 hours light in fall

good luck!
