I have a glass lid to my tank, It get s a lot of condensation on it which i think impacts the light going onto my corals.

What else would I use to cover it so fish don't get out
 
A screen top with clear netting. They have kits available from various online vendors, or you can DIY with supplies from the hardware store - the clear netting may be hard to find locally. This type of top can significantly increase the evaporation rate of your tank - depending on your setup and the relative humidity of your house. Good luck!
 
There are also several suppliers that make really nice lids. I got mine from Toplids and am very happy with them. This is mine before I removed the clear protective film from them.

Anodized aluminum window screen frame from HD/Lowes (don't forget the plastic corner pieces) and 1/4" clear or black mesh from BRS. You can have tops DIY'd in all of 15 minutes.
