Whats the best lighting over a refugium to grow cheato etc?

6500k daylight. I don't believe there is a need for anything above this kelvin since anything above is for coloration of corals and simulation of water depths of the ocean. So I've read here on reef central at one point from another reefer.

Plain old flourescent.
