    Top/hood/canopy question

    Have a 72 bow, not set up. Will the standard glass and plastic top work when tank is running? Or will it need to be "open" for air exchange (thus requiring a canopy?)? I have read about many species jumping out.

    Getting a 72 Bowfront for Xmas. Want to do fish and inverts. After some research, it seems a protein skimmer and live rock may be enough. Does this seem correct? Any advice, suggestions, criticims are welcomed. Sorry if this type of question is out of line. Thank you in advance.
