I started building my refugium. Have it all weldon'd together and silicon sealed (yeah I know its overkill). Created 1 chamber for water in, will gravity drain through a bulkhead to the sump. anyhow, it is 12x12x24". built it for under $40.
for a lamp I am going melev style. flood lamp with a PC daylight screw in bulb. I bought an extra, as shipping was the same if anyone wants one.

5100K should be perfect for the fuge and low energy usage.
 
For future reference Michael this is the bulb I us for my 10 gal and it has been working great for about a year now(not same set of bulb I changed them at 6 months). It has kept favia sp., xenia, gorgonian, candy cane,antheila, not only alive for a year, but also reproducing/splitting. I'm sure it would work good for a fuge. Best part it is only $4.84 at wal mart. It is a 65K bulb 25w.
