Oh yeah, nice tank!
I got alot of stuff around the tank that has black or black trim... speakers, my FW tank, etc... Just figured it would look better if it matched.. haha I've been finding this size board at HD for awhile, always plenty of stock..

There is a set of rails inside the panels that rest on the frame of the tank. They are positioned high enough up that when placed on the tank, the face panels cover the black frame on the tank, the MH plate then just spans the width of the canopy and rests on top... However I am looking to add a set of hinges to the MH plate so that I can lift the light up instead of completely moving off to the side or the floor when changing water or feeding etc..
