I think you have the right idea. I had been thinking of using lexan or plexi-glass. It can be easily cut and will not shatter if a fish splashes it. Also if you have fish that jump, they will not stick to it when it gets hot.

I made a hood with two lights that I got from the HD. They were on the clearance rack for eight bucks each (I am cheap too). They were aquarium/plant lights; couldn't say no.
