Depends on what you mean by closed lid. If you are talking canopy you can get a retro fit for it. If you are talking just a standerd lid not really. You can get a t-5 for it but your wasting your money. A good set up is retro fit or a fixture. You can close off the top of the tank so fish and stuff dont get out. But if your talking just a lid that comes on most fish tanks your answer is nope not really.

I would post specs on the 48" setup - IMO very few quality fixtures would cost so little. Before you spend 110$ on trash, it is worth asking. Maybe it is just used, but best to be sure you are not being taken for a ride.
