Water damage?

[holloway]

Is it a bad idea to remove the acylic lids on my tank? I want the heat to dissapate faster. But will it damage my t5 florescent bulbs which are app. 5'' abve the water level. I don't think there's a chance any livestock will escape. Thanks.

If the water doesn't splash or otherwise end up that high to the lights...then take them off.
