Sounds like a perfect little refuge set up for your tank.

cool! will a 13w CFL be enough for the chaeto? I have a small light that I used on an old planted nano I figured it might do the trick

I think so, not a cheto expert though.

I'm thinking it'll be ok, like I said it grew plants no problem. I have a friend in town who has some small chromis for me too, so I will have my tank stocked with my clowns blenny, cardinal and some chromis, its going to be pretty full! lucky I left the tank so open.

I think you'll be OK with it - Just make sure you get a high Kelvin rating.
I got these pics from Melev's reef.
These are 16w/75watt replacement before and after 2 weeks



I decided to use these 26 watters http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

With one of these http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en


But as you can see from Melev's pic, you don't need the reflector if you get the Flood flourescent. I prefer it as it has the clamp.

Oh, well that solves the mounting issue then, doesn't it?
What kind of 13w bulb are you using in that? 6500K perhaps?
Is it fairly cheap?
