Make one out of polycarbonate sheet from Lowe's 

Easy DIY project 

I'm not denying that it's easy to make but OP did say that budget is an issue that's why I referred marketplace instead of buying from Lowes. If OP can find a glass lid for free or extremely cheap (I've seen lids for a 40B being sold for $5 in the marketplace) then that's 100% better than buying polycarbonate. OP also is looking for a new light which can add to the cost and he's specified plenty of times that budget is an issue.

A regular 10g tank is 20" long and the cheapest option I see at lowes for polycarbonate is $6.98 for a 10"x8" sheet. OP would have to buy two sheets to cover his tank or get the bigger sizes which cost more and probably not in the budget.
