If you intend on growing live aquatic plants, you will need some form of lighting that has a color temp of around 6500k. This number is normally listed on the packaging of the bulb. The plants do not require uv lighting, so a standard cfl (spiral) bulb will work. It won't give off the intensity to support a lot of plants, but should be ok for a few low light requirement plants.
