The cheapest way to do it would be to get a couple of clip on lights like these: http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Harbor-Flexible-Table-Black/dp/B003NZSLHS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-2&keywords=clip+on+lamp. And then get some 6500k daylight bulbs. Not sure what a proper wattage would be for that that tank, but maybe somebody on here will.
I would suggest one of these clip on lights I use them for an art table that tilts and other random things (sometimes like a flashlight). You can adjust the lighting angle to how you want and it's got a pretty good color and strength. You can use them for pretty much anything, I actually use mine to illuminate my wardrobe right now.
If you want lights to help out your figure displays, you can try Ikea's white Dioder LED strips. They're cheap and fairly versatile, but kind of a pain to hook up (lots of wires to manage).
For photography, if you don't have a ton of space, you can try getting a clamp-on light like this that can take a standard light bulb. If you're using your phone camera, it's best to throw a lot of light onto the figure or else you'll get a grainy potato quality picture. You can bounce these off something reflective (you can use white poster board or a piece of cardboard covered in foil) to soften the light a bit.
Shooting with sunlight by a window as /u/Chiriesz suggested is also an option.
One more thing, if you intend to use multiple lamps, try to put the same kind of light bulb in all of them (like get a 6-pack or something). Not all bulbs emit the same color light, so use the same type to light your figure in order to avoid unexpected color casts.
Usually something from a garage sale. I like these guys
Clip Light , or this Ikea one but the ikea one only takes small bulbs.
It's a little bit ugly but to make the upmost of your light, you can surround all or part of your plant space with a mylar (space blanket). If you cut sheets, you can glue them to poster board and make panels for around your grouping of plants. They're super reflective so any light that is not absorbed by the plants, or 'spills over' can get redirected back. I've seen it used underneath plants, or if you have a shelf, you could position the light from one side, and cover the opposite side to get the light shining from both angles :)
I have used something like this here on smaller tanks before.
I don't think so, the watts per gallon rule doesn't really work that well, especially under 10 gallons. I would just get a cheap clamp on gooseneck lamp and a small (7watt) compact fluorescent bulb. This would also allow you to raise and lower the lamp to get more or less light.
Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Harbor-Flexible-Table-Black/dp/B003NZSLHS/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1381065478&sr=1-1&keywords=clamp+light
Low cost then if say get a clip on lamp then buy a 9w(or so) cfl 6500k bulb
Good luck!!
I need a lamp for my dorm room, so I don't have to use that harsh overhead light all the time!
Since I plan to run a low light planted tank, do i need to buy a fluval type light? or could I just run two clip on light like this with some stronger bulbs?
