Light for a 10 gallon propagation/grow out tank?

Well, my xenia, green star polyps and mushroom frags are outgrowing all my tanks so I've decided to turn my 10 gallon tank into a little propagation tank. I already have the tank so all I really need are cheap lights to throw onto the thing just so they have some light. There will be absolutely nothing in the tank that is light demanding (no SPS or anything) so I need suggestions for a simple light to place over the 10 gallon AGA tank.

Next question: does anyone have anything they'd be willing to sell to me locally?

Here's a very cheap 175w MH setup that would work great for that tank, and you could actually try propagating some SPS.

a 110wat pc set up would be cheap and nice or a t-5 setup. Im thinking of doing a grow out tank for my mushrooms. I might use a t-5 setup. its 20inches long with 24watts. one 12 watt 12k and a 12 watt blue

Yeah but both of those options were more than I was wanting to spend. I'm considering making something myself with those Home Depot 13w screw in bulbs.

The MH setup is a decent price though.
