The 20g tank in my house does not have a cover led with light yet, The house is located around to much trees, bushes etc, so it get really dusty in the house with windows open because of hot weather in southern california. Question is should i get a cover right away or can it wait? does dusty particles effect water and fish?
 
Generally, no...although it does depend on what the dust is comprised of. It will, however, make your water cloudy and could affect gas exchange on the surface. I would get a cover pretty quick, as aside from the dust issues, you will find that water evaporation will be far slower with a cover on the tank.
