What is the best light?

[Moe]

Does anyone have an opinion on which light will make the fish look their best? A while ago someone posted a link to a lighting experiment where someone (probably with a lot of time on their hands ) tried out tons of different lights on their tank. Does anyone know the site?

Full spectrum fluorescent tubes, like Philips 965 (Philips 9- serie, 9 means Ra-index 90-99. 100 is the best.)

a good one would to have a bright daylight bulb such as 10,00k and an 03 actinic bulb.

The Coralife Compact Flourescent lights are really awesome. some are dual switchable 65w/130w. i never realized how horrible my stock 20w light looked until i added this compact flourescent.
the fish look amazing.
