Was that one of those jellyfish tanks? Curious to see what it will look like when you set it up as a mini-reef

Current USA makes a "Pad Light" that would sit atop a cover if you have one for the tank. You can add an extra actinic to the standard model (it's made to be "upgradeable"). People I know have had good results on those with Fluval Edge tanks (up to 12 gallons). And they aren't very expensive.

You don't think it will be too much

Are you handy with a soldering iron? Could get a 10 or 20 watt chip, a heatsink and a dimmible driver off the eBay for the low

You would still need those parts. I would use a CPU cooler for a heat sink. Then drill and tap it to attach an arm or hanging cables

Yep I'm thinking it was originally a jellyfish tank - that LED would make the jellies look pretty neat.
