The tubes on that link are for marine tanks, I would go for a arcadia/tropica tubes, its a bit late here for me to find a link, but I would look at them.
If no one else suggests anything, I will have a look in the morning, its 2am here, time for bed

look for tube around the 6500k range. While some people have had success with 10k tubes it can be a recipe for algae.
