Converted an old AC500 into a fuge. The bigger the better. Put an Ikea mini-spiral bulb on top and grew chaeto like mad. I later had it on the back of a 10 gallon nano I had briefly. Fit perfectly and added a lot of water volume.

I wouldn't use anything smaller than an AC500/110. I don't have an AC already converted, I have a classic sump-type fuge built.
