I think they can make a built in "lid" out of acrylic too, they do that
with most salt water tanks, and leave spots you can open as needed to
get to the fish/tank and feed the fish. I've watched more than a few
episodes of Tanked, LOL.
You could have a single light fixture that hangs over the top of the
tank, I recommend CFL or Fluorescent bulbs personally, I prefer the CFL
bulbs, but they can be expensive to replace if you get the tube CFL (not
the spiral ones you can get at most big box stores that screw into a
normal light socket, but they work very well for planted tanks too if
you want them).
