The best growth you will have it from red and blue led.the algae uses this 2 lights to grow.you can find them pretty cheap on ebay,they have fixtures formed out of this 2 colours or you can do your own diy fixture

They would do it,but in order to be more efficient you need the extra growth out of it,I paid for my light 45$ with free shipping for a 12"x12" fixture
