Its an 18 inch x 18 inch x 18 inch. I'd like to basically be able to house anything that wouldn't be too hard to take care of.

Hmm the only thing I came up with is the following, and you would need 2 of the fixtures to really be able to keep a wide assortment of corals. But it's a very good light.

Current USA 18" Nova Extreme T-5 Fixture 2x20W 10K/460NM, (1136) - AquaCave

Check your local home depot in the lighting section. It's called diffuser
