what are your mounting options? Are you just looking for something to lay on the lid or you hanging from ceiling etc?

Well if that is the case. I would think a perfect light for that would be a hanging kessel or something like that just one wire hanging from the ceiling and it would most likely cover the whole tank.

You would need a 500x for that which is a bit pricey (but pretty)
