Thanks all for the replies, I've located a light that should work out well.
In case future people read this... Home Depot has a 12" T5 for 30 bucks, it's a cool blue lamp in there, looks good, but i didn't get it (probably should have). Princess auto has MANY MANY lights, including compact flourecent's that are 13W bulbs, and also they're VERY cheap. Wallmart actually had full 10 gallon tanks with light's and everything for $40, so after materials, that might have been cheaper overall for my build.
Locate a plastic supplier if you're buying acrylic pieces, even for baffles, Home Depot had them for $30, picked up an offcut piece for $5 (4 large timmies coffe's).
anyways, this has gone less buy/sell and more DIY, so... thanks all for the offers, you guys are great.
