hi friends, i bought a 10g tank which im' planting soon enough--- i just set up the tank and i realize that it didn't come with a glass hood/covering/protector thing. is this necessary? why wouldn't it be included? it's an incandescent hood, hwoever i'm using compact fluorescent bulbs on it. it looks like there's a tight plastic covering near the electrical portion, however is this enough? do i need the glass so there isn't a lot of splashing? i'm taking out all airstones and keeping the water topped off so there's as little water movement as possible (for the plants' sakes)... suggestions?
