    throw 2 par30's or par38's over the cube, should be around 150 -200$ total
    Or you can get a DIY kit from rapid led and build your own. I wouldn't bother with a skimmer personally on a nano, but you could probably get a tunze nano skimmer on it.

    A skimmer can only help not hurt. I agree, depending on the size of the refugium you should be able to find a good one for it that won't break the bank.
