I’m not sure on lights, sorry.
But can I ask how old you are? Your posters look like my dorm room 20 years ago.
Look up ‘aquarium clip lights’ if you need cheaper options have a look at amazon, I think at the $80au range they do free shipping for non-prime members, but definitely look for promo codes before making purchases if you’re buying with them
No clue about lights but is that where you will put the aquarium? Cause the whole bottom should be supported. That can be a disaster in waiting.
Not sure we should be worrying about a light, when you don’t have your entire tank on a stable stand. You NEED to support the entire tank, not 2/3rds of the tank.
Not sure what’s available in Australia but if etsy is available I have risers on my lights that are 3d printed from Etsy and they work great. Mine are set low right now but you can see how much I can raise them with the picture

Assuming you’re going for houseplants in there. Get a cheap regular tank light like [this](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B4VF4Z9X?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details&th=1). These have been great for both my tank plants and the very tall syngonium houseplants im growing in there. You can attach strong cord to the metal brackets on the end and string it up on a ceiling hook or two. Bigger is better, then you can have some houseplants at the side of the tank too.
You can hang pretty much any aquarium light using mounts you buy online, or even DIY something with PVC. For example, Hygger lights are pretty affordable and have a decent spectrum. I have one with a 24-hour cycle that mimics sunrise and sunset. It was around $80 USD for a larger model on Amazon, and smaller ones are about half that.
Also, have you considered clip-on lights? There are some really cheap options on Amazon, and a lot of them are adjustable and can sit fairly high above the tank.
You gonna need a mop!
do not fill up that tank until you move the other one. I wouldn’t put anything in that tank until its fully supported.
