egg crate = light diffuser for fluorescent bulbs. can be bought at home depot or similar store. Cost < 5$ for more than you will need.

You will also need somthing to hold the light diffuser. I made a rack out of PVC pipe and fittings. ~$10.

You need a pump to move water. I reccomend a skimmer also. I have never had any luck without using a skimmer. I know others have, but imo skimmers are a must.

What spectrum is the pc bulb that you have? Many of the pc bulbs you buy for your home lighting needs will grow more algae than corals. At least that has been my experience with them.
