Factory made media racks are to Expensive!!!! This rack with the lights and timer cost me less than $15. ***Ignore my towel as I added underneath to prevent spillage on my dresser.***

Egg crate and plexiglass sheet for the media rack.
Grow lights from amazon with an outdoor timer for the Refugium.

The lights are just tapped down to a piece of cardboard and blacked out w/ electrical tape. It could be made to look way nicer but I could not find my hobby razor knife to make it look sharp.

The Chaeto grows really fast w/ these lights. Adding this made everything so much happier!
