My oppinion is that your water temp is not bad with temperature above posted.
The second question, it is good idea to remove the glass to allow the gas exchange to happen. CO2 is the main cause of PH fluctuation in a aquarium.
hope this helps,

Yes I would certainly remove the glass top for what Ed posted & help with water evaporation which helps keep your tank cool also.

I agree as well. I removed mine and wondered why in the world I ever had one on the top!
