Where to get glass covers for tank??

Reef tanks should not be covered. A glass cover will reduce the air-water exchange causing CO2 to be trapped and may cause lowering of PH. Also, salt spray & dust will also reduce the amount of light penetrating the water surface (assuming you have the glass cover below the lights). If you have it above the lights, you will trap a lot of heat!

I think only Arowana tanks need to be covered. ;)

Yes eggcrate will still reduce light going into your tank... its not called a light diffuser for nothing! ;)

If you have a shallow tank (<1ft), then its not advisable to keep firefish. You can if they are the only fish around or they have extremely peaceful tankmates. Also you should not make sudden moves... scaring them to jump out.

IMO, you need not have any cover as there are more cons than pros.
