The LFS I bought my set current set up from didn't recommend a lid because it wouldn't let all of your light through, especially if the glass gets at all dirty. Has anyone seen how high the fish jump over the glass? I have a pretty high canopy(top of the tank cover) and was thinking that they might not be able to get over it, so would hit it and fall back in the tank.

We have glass over the middle part on our sumpless 120g. The back and front is covered in eggcrate. I can't count the number of times we've looked at the glass covered and wondered why it was all splashed up. Then I remembered the reason we covered it completely was to prevent our fairy wrasse from jumping out. He's been with us for almost two years now
 Also, we clean the glass during weekly maintenance so it doesn't get dirty.

Don't kid yourself, fish can jump very high and if there is enough room for air to get through a fish will find it if they really want to. Fish jump for different reasons, some get spooked, some are bullied, some just jump because it's fun to fly, it's the landing part that ruins the fun.
Egg crate is easy to cut up, it's not expensive unless you go to the chrome stuff and then it's very expensive. Doug

White stuff is under $9 for a 2x4 foot sheet, chrome is about $50 for the same size sheet and yes Home Depot, Rona etc...

Just a question, does anyone use window screening over their tanks as jump protection?
