I prefer PowerGlo, low wattage. 10,000 k. They seem to penetrate waters a little deeper then most other lights I've tried and show off excellent colors in my red based strains, blue diamonds and wild greens...

Re:What brand of light do you use?
Sam,
What mkind of fixture are you using on your tank(s)? I ask because you may want to use a combination of bulbs if you have a multi-lamp fluorescent fixture. Hagen has printed a very good brochure on aquarium lighting that I have seen in my lfs. The brochure indicates what bulbs to use in a 1, 2 or 3 bulb fixture for particulare applications.
In my case, I have a 3 tube 36" unit from All-Glass on a 30 gallon tank. I use T-8, 25W tubes. Note that the All-Glass ballast for the triple tube fixture only drives 25W lamps. I use a Tropic, Flora and Ultrasun bulb from ZooMed. Each addresses a slightly different spectrum. Effect is very nice.

Sam,
I finally found the link that I was looking for:

Click on the link for freshwater lighting from the above link. Nice piece to print, difficult to read on screen.
