I was recently reading online that it is more beneficial to not have a class top on top of a tank as it can inhibit oxygen exchange and keeps a good percentage of light from penetrating into the tank. I have one question about that though. Where my tank is set up (and the only place that it can be) it is sitting near our bird cage. If there was not a top on my tank then there would be tons of feathers that would eventually make their way into it. On the back of my tank there is about a 4 inch opening that wires and such go through. Now should I go completely topless or is that opening sufficient?
