    Normal white FL or PC should do the job....spend more of your money on a good pressurised CO2 system instead.

    normal white light or daylight tubes will do.
    about 72watts of lighting should be sufficient.
    with this amount of light, make sure that there are sufficient co2 and nutrients.

    For the mini ricca and glosso, you will need quite a high amt of lighting. mi currently using 1 36w PL and 1 15w FL on my 2 ft tank with glosso. Everything seem ok at the moment.

    2.5 to 3w/gal for low lighting plants. Above 3w/gal for high lighting plant. Gloss is a high lighting plant. If not enough, they become leggy.
