Thoughts on covering tank

[mcgallagherc]

I know I'll get different responses but I've had my 48x24x24 for about 15 months now. No lid on tank and have had to issues until late. A few weeks ago my wife found a clown laying by front door while I was at work. She put it back and survived until last week. Knoticed there was only 1 clown in tank, I grabbed a flashlight and searched up down around and everywhere you can fathom. That clown never came up. A few days after I was feeding fish and 1 of my dogs(2 doodles) got excited and started sniffing vigorously around tank. Pretty sure he had a $100 ceviche snack that day the the same clown jumped.

I hate my netting screen top, but I very much prefer it over having my fish jump.

I'm exploring options, whatever it is beats losing expensive fish for dog snacks!
