I would prefer to put in a white Led light. but the red may not look as nice if using pink lights...

No point getting both cos they dun complement one another...
If u value the goldies more than get the whites otherwise get the pinks...

Why not diy?
There a shop at Sim Lim Square (2nd level, Unicell) that got ready made RGB LED metre long tube with remote control that allow you to select to colour of your choice. Have fix colour white tube for cheaper too.
Near $32 per assembly per metre ready made. Can add two tube to a 12VDC adaptor, etc.

It is tubular form of aluminium & clear plastic lens. Not water resistance though, thus suitable for placement outside or top of tank.

Thumbs up

LED saves electricity low heat it also makes a ripple effect in tank..
Tube lights more intense heat..provides better tanning results
