Sounds good. What brand UVB tube is it? Also, do you have a rock or piece of wood you are going to use for a basking spot? 
Can't wait to see pictures!
The brand and type of UVB bulb is very important.
You need to avoid any type of coil UVB bulbs as these are not safe for beardies. They can cause eye issues and MBD.
The recommended bulbs are the Repti-Sun 10.0 tube bulb and Arcaida D3 12% UVB tube bulb. Keep in mind these bulbs need to be mounted inside the tank so your beardie can get 8" from the bulb at the closest point. They also need to be changed every 6 months as the UVB diminishes over time. Many of the other brands of tube bulbs are also no good.
Tile is a good choice. No risk of impaction.
Also keep in mind that if you choose to use the water bowl make sure it is kept on the cool side of the tank as to not raise humidity in the tank. Many beardies do not drink from a water bowl and instead get hydration from baths, veg and it being offered via plastic dropper or syringe.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
