Default diy lighting

I saw an article posted here about someone who built a lighting enclosure out of a section of gutter and those compact spiral replacement bulbs. Does anyone know where I can find that or something similar? Thanks.

I had a lighting problem with my 55g until I found this site http://chrys.addr.com/aquarium/diy.htm I did a similer set to hers, eith the adapters and stuff only I didn't have to make my own hood. This link also has good hood/canopy and stand plans.

Hey no prob, I was utterly hopeless until I found that site on a Google search.

Its actually the only DIY lighting I have ever found like that (in other words without buying a DIY kit and making a hood)

Good luck! I finished mine in less then a day.
