Tank Lighting

I have ECLIPSE Natural Dalight 36" lights in my hood or whatever. They are pretty bright of course. I heard that larger cichlids and oscars and such don't like a bright light. Any suggestions on bulbs?

If you are using the stock light strips, it will be fine. You'll have less than 1 wpg, which is not really enough to grow plants, let alone stress out a fish.
