If you want to keep it cheep just build the hood using CFL bulbs in the 6500k range. Just buy a cheep vanity light from lowes, usually around $10 then take it apart and use the wiring system. I have done this multiple times on hoods for freshwater tanks with not problems. I am currently using this setup on my salt tank as well.
