Hi a simple shop light that you can get for $10-$15 will do just fine just make sure you replace one of the to 40 watt bulbs with a different bulb,,you will want one bulb to be called a warm wich will emit more of the red yellow spectrum and the other bulb should be a cool white and that will give you the blue you need,,save your money on those exspensive aquarium bulbs will not work any better for ya than what i told you ,,,you will just end up spending more money on those hobbist bulbs.check out my pictures with my lighting I have set up for all my tropicals,,,hope this helped.
