Tony, I don't have a lid on my tank...I did have egg crate for a long time...but took it off one day and never put it back on. Now that does go against everything I have read both by internet articles and personal experience people have posted...however I HATE eggcrate and if I cover the tank with glass I have way too much heat, so I've just said my prayers to the fish Gods and hope he finds the inside of the tank more to his liking than trying to fly. Observing him, he doesn't go higher than halfway up the tank even at night.....but there is eurobracing too that should help and the cap covers all sides except the back....
