Hey, I need a top for my tank because i'm looking into getting some fish which will jump. Would Glass or Plexy glass be a better choice? Which would let more light though cause I do have corals in the tank though none that need very high lighting right now. Also what about the air circulation. Obviously alot less air will enter though there will still be open spaces thoughout the top-- is this ok??? Thanks alot!!!
 
i'd do glass

i jury-rigged a plexi lid for my 75 and the thing archs like a mofo from the light (which doesnt feel that hot really..)

if you have a W/D filter, skimmer, or an HOB aeration shouldn't be a problem

I agree here. You'll have to clean your top more often to minimize the gunk that will impede your light from reaching your corals.
