Me and my mom are worried about the lights being outside of the enclosure. Any ideas on how to mount them? (Without spending money?)
How you mount lights inside enclosuure?

Oh, and they are not tubes.
I use adjustable lamp stands for my dome lights. They cost about $18 each though. You can try creating your own stand or if they came with a clamp you could clamp them to something above the tank to suspend them. Maybe create a wood or PVC structure to hold them.

OK, but what about the screen?
The basking light should be powerful enough to get proper temps through the screen. A UVB tube (T8) would need to be inside the screen or a T5 could be used and mounted above the screen.

I've mounted UVB tubes inside glass tanks before. I don't have any pictures anymore but I tried to draw it, hope it kinda makes sense.
The metal I used was a 4 inch wide about 1/16 inch thick and as long as you need it to be. The metal strip will sit down in the lip of the tank rim so you can close the lid. I did have to cut a small hole in the screen to pass the power cord through.
