Been there and thought that, never without a top. Never worth the risk .
I had several wrasses with no top for a few months always had the top and hardly ever used it . It just sat on top upright instead of set properly on the tank. Even watched by Coris wrasse bounce off it back into the tank one day while it sat upright Then I added a beautiful Orange back wrasse and it was fine for a month It soon became the favorite fish of my wife and I Then one day I didn't see it for the morning feeding and then my wife came in and noticed it missing and looked down to find it's dried out body on the floor. Now I lift the top to feed and do whatever else I need to do and then the top goes right back down. It took me less than an hour to build the top but i didnt use it and lost at least 3 fish. Sorry to preach just my opinion..
