[AquaticLife] a lid or not a lid that is the question
You can use it but there is always a chance that one or more of your fish might jump out which could be lethal to them. What kind of fish do you have or are you planning for the tank? Some fish are more likely to jump than others.
If I remember correctly, you are just getting started. Something you can do to get more equipment without having to spend a lot of money (or maybe no money) is to check out your local http://www.FreeCycle.org group. You might find a lid for your tank or you might find a larger entire system that someone is giving away. Also check the free listings on http://www.CraigsList.com and your local newspapers, flea markets and garage sales.
