I am setting up my refugium in my new tank to hold plants and maybe a predator (mantis or handfish something like that) the sump in a 24x30x18 (i think! I'm having a custom built tank and sump and i cant remember what it is exactly for the sump but that seems right...)

My concern is the lighting? Can i get one 65 watt bulb from home depot or lowes and put it over the sump?

Im looking to do chaeto and gracilliaria in the sump. Possibly other like caulpera prolifera.
 
Yup, thats all you need. You may need 2 for total coverage, but yup, thats what we use.
