yes, but it's much more convenient to be able to only slide the tub out halfway to do spot cleaning and water changes. if you used lids you would have to remove the entire tub and set it down elsewhere to take off the lid. in my opinion, a pain in the tush because then you have to worry about spilling the water. also it's nice to just pull out the tub like a drawer and be able to remove the snake whenever you feel like it
