I have this bulbs on my other tank's fuge i'm not to impressed with the growth of my cheato is ok but not to good.
Now after three days the new sump light with the 6.7K 65w PC bulb the cheato is growing and gaining good size in three days.
 
I've tried a lot of different fuge lighting and the best chaeto growth was with a 175 watt 4000K MH.

Zoom, im not a fan of those low wattage PC either. I think the 65watt PC will do much better. I had a spiral 65watt PC 6500K (the LOA flood light) and it did pretty well as a fuge light.

My current fuge uses 100% sunlight with good growth :)

Although there are more important factors to get good growth. You can have the ideal chaeto lighting and get little growth. I had a tank that i added fertilizer to (don't ask why :p ) and I have never seen such good growth from chaeto. I would say how fast it was growing but nobody would believe it.
