Canopy question

Do I leave the glass covers on the aquarium now that I have a full canopy?
Or can I just get rid of them.
Thanks

it might divert some light but if you have some jumpy fish i would consider keeping it on

Either way might work. The glass covers might reduce air exchange and trap heat, though, so I'd watch carefully. I suspect most people remove the glass covers.

Just wantch your temperature and PH. If the first increases or the second drops then remove them, if you have jumpers then replace the covers with eggcrate.
