T5 actinics like Narva tubes are way better than T8's. But decent blue led's can also give a good look too. Personally, I use T5's.

i have some of them off ebay but a single strip it was for the nano

was thinking about tiding up the top of the tank and run strips of led's arround the rim and point them into the tank at an angle toward the central part of the tank
