Lighting Solution?

[Seriak]

I am building a Refugium in my basement and need some advice on the lighting requirements.

What should I get? It is a 25 gallon aquarium. Standard dimensions.

I would like to build something myself to save on cash. Can I get the required ballasts, endcaps, etc at a place like home depot or do I have to pay the higher prices at a pet store.

Starting from scratch here.

Thank in advance.
