refugium lighting

I have a 4 foot refugium under my 150g tank. Inside is a 4-5" mud bed, about 20# of LR (which I plan on moving into my DT), and some Cheato. I currently have 4 36w PC's over it, but I'm thinking of using that light on another tank. How much lighting do I need for my refugium? Could I use a 4' standard flourescent with a bulb supposedly designed for plants? Or do I need heavier lighting for the cheato?
