Figuring Out this photography thing

 

[Mebeknob]

So I'm tying up some loose ends on this desktop build. I wasn't sure how I wanted to cover the rear compartment. I thought about acrylic but decided to try a piece of wood. I like it but don't love it. I can't decide what to change about it. This is just made out of some pine scraps I had and some Thompson waterseal.
I'll eventually drill some holes in it for mangroves.
I'm thinking a nice piece of dark walnut will look better.
Thoughts?

Eventually the light will be mounted under a shelf and the current bent ruler will be removed. Also the tank will be on a desk and the cabinet underneath.
