I'm planning to purchase Nova Extreme Pro fixture and was reading the manufacturers information sheet. It says ' place on a tank with a glass lens as it is NOT DESIGNED for open top tanks. Everywhere I read that the tank must not have a cover because it water surface needs good oxygen mix via high flow rates and open top. I need help. Jim

It comes with an acrylic cover that can be placed inside the fixture or you could have glass cover. The glass or acrylic serve the same purpose: splash shield to protect the bulbs and reflector from salt spray.

Mine(current-usa) said to operate with a cover.

I'm not and so far so good. I also have a tube shield.
