Yes, it's simple.  But I wouldn't glue the endcaps.  It would make it very
hard to change bulbs.  Just screw the bulb holders to the hood or canopy,
then slip the endcaps onto the bulbs.  I'd be careful with glue (make sure
to use super strong/waterproof glue) to make sure the bulbs don't fall into
the tank.
