Will this work for a 10 gallon nano-reef?

Its my project for chrismas too. Looks like many donot know this method and spend lots of $$$ in buying a ballast.

Looks like this needs to be new thread in -- Marine Products & DIY

And then anyone doing this DIY can post reviews/hurdles crossed. I will post the pics and progress in that thread after chrismas.
 
Yeah, I think I might try it with T5 bulbs for my 150 cichlid tank and see how it goes. I'll be interested in seeing your progress thread as well.
