NEED HELP STAT!

Hi I have a 60 gallon tank which I recently removed the glass lid as I read this is better for the tank. Now I have fish jumping out.

Is there any benefit to not having a glass top on my tank? should I just put I back on?

Im currently sing an Ecotec radion o and its approximately 8 inches above the tank.

so I got a new skimmer last week and it was working ok But it was to deep in the water about 12 inches.
I got a stand built and know it sits at about 5.5 inches deep.

Manufature recomends 5-8 inches.

Could this be causing it to over flow?

I have it dialed all the way down both the air and the waterlevel. in the skimmer and its been over flowing for 24 hours st8 now
