There was just a thread about this two days ago but it was for a 3ft enclosure. It might be able to help you.

Good Luck

Have to get a mesh lid? that would be impossible to keep the heat in then. Look its just easier and cheaper to run if you have one made. There are plenty of people on here that can do it and will do it for a reasonable price. If you are dead set on using a tank then it would be easier to use a heat mat/heat cords than fitting lights in.

Stein enclosures are good.

If you don't want to or just can't get someone to build you one you can just make a lid from a piece of mdf or similar. You'd pretty much just need to cut/drill out holes for ventilation and heating lamps and then get something heavy to put on top. That's what I am using till my Bredli gets big enough for me to make his permanent home
