Please get a mesh screen top.
Edit: This might come off as judgmental. It wasn’t meant to be at all. I just truly wish that those fish had a safety net. Thanks for taking it the way it was meant!

These are inexpensive packages, you might could piece it together for a bit cheaper elsewhere, but this makes it easy.

Otherwise, there are custom made polycarbonate/acrylic lids like these that look the best but are expensive.

Forgot the mention; to hang the diy lids from brs or big box hardware stores, I epoxy some thin plastic of any type to each corner, to act as a hanger and the lid sits down inside the rimless tank. Don’t forget to roughen the plasticsbefore epoxy, I use rough sandpaper. With rimmed tanks you just size it to fit the rimmed sections.

Had my first jumper today. :/
I gave the tank a small dose of Reef roids before the sun came up. I lifted the lid for an instant and didn't notice that it jumped.

Got a leapord wrasse from a friend who was closing her tank down. She had her in an open top tank for a year. She found the only small spot to jump out of my tank and i lost her to the floor 3 days after adding
