i've seen people with desklights with coralife bulbs, would this work?

Not for a 5 gallon. There is a 12" Coralife Aqualight available that I think would work best for a 5 gallon. It's 36 watts. Just put some legs on it otherwise you'll cook the tank. There aren't a lot of readily available lights other than that which would be adequate.

grimreefer do you have a pico or thread because i think i saw one somewhere?

I've had a couple picos over the last few years. They are a lot of fun!

Both were of the exact same design. 2L Marina Betta tank, Elite mini filter, Coralife 10W CF bulb.

wow awesome. I'm going to ask more stuff about a pico. If you keep on top of your WC and you have a fuge do you need a skimmer? what would be the average cost?

and what kind of heater?
