Hey! Depends on what light requirements the plants you'd like go grow need! The substrate you use is also very important in determining lighting systems as Well!

Sand will be the substrate and preferably plants that won't need co2 injections for now.

Thanks for the suggestion but that is a little out of my price range.

Hello joe...

Four bulb light fixture and four 32 watt T8 bulbs from the local hardware store is $60.00 and you can hang the fixture above the tank. A dual sponge filter from Biochem is $10.00 shipped. Just change half the tank water every week and you'll have a healthy and balanced tank.

Why? Just curious about the benefits of this setup based on the user's needs.
Anyhow, point is moot since these run.
$200-300+. Not "inexpensive".
