A basic fuge can be set up simply by drilling the bottom out of a ten gallon tank, putting in a bulkhead and standpipe, tossing that on top of your already existing display and pumping water into it. From there, put one of those dairy queen-looking energy saver bulbs over it, toss in a handful of Chaetomorpha (a macroalgae) and you're set!
FYI, fuges are some of the best means of nutrient transport in the hobby right now. I'd rank them a bit under well made and maintained protein skimmers.
