A quick search on here as well a google yields a plethora of images/ideas/threads about them.. Have you tried that?
In general most simply repurpose other media reactors and simply wrap some LED tape lights around the outside..

Just put it directly in your display tank. You save money and cost of electricity.

I can't get mine to grow. It has been the same size for 4 months. Very dark green and healthy looking. Looks like really dark green brillo. Not to get off subject but I also can't get any GHA to grow either. I am a little worried about my clean up crew.

Quite often chaeto does great till it lowers your nutrients then it starves...

Extruded acrylic tube will save some money but is far more brittle and prone to cracking.
