Thanks for all the help.

Last night I bought a glass top and a 2 bulb regular fluorescent strip
light. I also got one plant bulb. My tank looks great now. I'm
starting out with just 2 of the bulbs on for now so I don't shock the
fish and plants too much. I also bought a bag of Fluorite and will
redo the tank this weekend. Then I'll get some algae eaters and some
more plants.

Had a very knowledgeable guy helping me at the store for a change so I
asked him lots and lots of questions.
