What do you have in the tank? Some fish are real jumpers and require lids. Are you talking about having no lids on the tank at all?

I keep them on because i use RO water and it prevents as much evaporation. It's really the only benefit I see in it.

I would keep a glass top on at all times just in case. A glass top doesn't block light, the light goes through it so the plants will be fine.

They can... depends on how much junk is on them. I dont have tops on any of my tanks. They're a pain to get in to the tank with... at least conpared to no top. They also get dirty and block light. A tight fitting lid can cause pH crashes as well.

I saw you have a 3 spot gourami, I have read (and experienced) that they are real good jumpers - may not be a problem as its a juvenile, but I thought I'd let you know.
