Nano tanks overheat with various lighting options and the open top reduces heat trapping. I see an advantage to a closed top with inhabitants who are mobile or can jump. Is there a solution to cover open top tanks such as the Solana or Elos with uv transparent glass?

use eggcrate if you dont want stuff to jump and that way it doesnt overheat either

You can also put netting in a window frame and create a top for your tank that allows most of the heat to escape.
