I checked one of my mags, and they had an ad for what I assume is a bulb
like the red/blue on that website. The red bulb is rated at 8000K and the
blue at 12000K. Unfortunately I don't recall the name anymore (bad
memory).
However, the red (I believe they called it pink) bulb was supposed to be
designed for plant growth.

Have a look at www.arcadia-uk.com. I know it's a UK based site, but they
have ideas about the lighting you might need for plants. I have the Original
Tropical and Freshwater lamps in combination - each are T5 15w in a 2 cu ft
tank, to grow my plants. The tank looks great, although I may need to
replace one of the tubes, as I have had it for a few months now.
