That would really depend on the species of octopus you are keeping (or setting up a tank for, right?)...diurnal octos will do fine with daylight bulbs for 12-14 hours...nocturnal octos can be viewed with moon bulbs or red bulbs (it is easier to see them in red light for humans...rather than blue).

im thinking more of a bimac light enviornment,then wut?

 

[cthulhu77]

bimacs are diurnal...so just 40 watt daylight bulbs will be fine.
