I'll try to keep this short. I've been debating starting this hobby, and it's time to dive in. Couple things-
Should i be concerned that i have very little knowledge other than what I've been watching on YouTube. No clue about the minerals and all that but I assume I can learn along the way and have a good store near me...
I've attached a photo of where I'll be keeping tank which will be instead of that chair under that light fixture.
Atm planning to get the Innovative Marine 50 gallon AIO Lagoon with black stand.
However, I want the back housing to have a lid as i want a very clean sleek look as it's the first thing you see when you walk in home
Does this IM have that? Also, is it possible to grow some simple corral with a led blade light laying on top so that there isn't a huge light under another light? Thank you for any help as I'm looking forward to beginning but hope I'm not getting in over my head. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for tanks if IM doesn't have a housing lid as again I want a very clean and sleek look. Heard bad things about red sea. Trying not to go custom and I'm not a "handyman" to make anything.

This is the tank I'm looking at. Also my goal for tank is for it to be a bit taller so it's a little more eye level which I'm assuming the stand can be elevated a bit. I have to keep it under 56 inches anyways to not touch light above
