Reef Casa points out that not all fish are jumpers, but that for nano classics — dartfish, basslets, certain blennies — a snug lid stops being optional. It also holds snails in, keeps cats and dust out, and cuts evaporation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a mesh lid block light from my corals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome, yes — the manufacturer says so plainly. Its answer: raise your light intensity by about 10%. It notes that very few reefers run a nano light at full intensity, so the headroom you need is usually already available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to cut or assemble the lid myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It arrives fully assembled and cut for the model you pick. No trimming, no build.
