Temp range looks good.
I dont think you will want to run the MH for 8 hours to start with especially while you are cycling LR. That long of a photo period will probably give you big algae problems. I think I would start at 4 hours and every 3 - 4 weeks add another half hour to the photo period.

Do you have a heater or are you relying on the MH lights to heat the tank?
I wouldn't want the lights to be flashing on and off througout the day and night in order to control temperature
