Lighting For Cichlids. T5 50:50's?

[Trops_Newbie2012]

Hi,

I'm still in the process of making a 3D background for my tank, and am looking to get some new lighting for the tank before I fill.

I am looking to keep Mbuna, and was wondering what the best lighting would be?

I was thinking T5's (50/50's)

I will be using a starter unit (39w)

Would T5 50/50's be any good for bringing out the colouring in Mbuna

Cheers,
Mike

Also,

Where is the cheapest place to buy bulbs?
