Lighting for a azoo tank

I will soon be setting up a three-tank system that will include 25g Perfecto 18" cube. The cube will contain only azoo corals.
Do you have any suggestions for lighting the tank?
The corals obviously won't need light and I don't need to help out any algae growth with too much light. I want something that will make the colors of the tank pop without providing much par to fuel algae.
Would two Powerbrites (blue and white) work? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks
 
Although these corals do not require light, and many cannot even sense light, it will alter their color (the color of the tissue itselft, not only what we see). I've been keeping many NPC under no light at all for months now and some of them seemed to have faded slightly. I tossed a small T5 fixture over top and within two weeks I noticed them starting to show more color and brighten up.
 
You can pick up a single, 20K, 21w, PAR38 lamp with 60 degree optics from nanotuners.

Will this cover the tank well?
I have seen some pics of these bulbs on tanks and was not a fan of the spotlight effect that seems so prevalent.
