just took some more pics to share with yall....seems to be going good...cleaned the airstones and you can really tell the difference..there was a lot of buildup on it so if you haven't checked on them yet you need to and get them cleaned
i've seen many things used..2 liter bottles, milk jugs, small little food storage boxes, just about anything plastic just paint it black or put something around it so the roots dont get any light
with cfls the more the better...in a small space you might have some heat problems just make sure theres some exhaust and intake of some sort to keep the temp down...
