Fish Jumping!!

My scissortail goby jumped out about a month ago. Only had him for about 3 weeks. Tank temperature is usually around 26-27C. It was during feeding I think because I remember seeing him eat. When I came back 10mins later he was on the floor. He was my first jumper.

My male Lyretail Anthia jumped also during feeding wasn't a heat issue, they just jump.
Also lost a green spotted gobie during the night.

Both of my Clowns have "gone over the wall" and ended up in the overflow at one point or another. I had to recue the large one last night.

my huma trigger jumped into the overflow and caused a flood last week.

Any way that you can use eggcrate as your top? Good for heat and should help a bit with the jumpers. But you will get more evaporation.

I've had one of my Clowns and my firefish go into the overflow, at least the Clown surfed right through too my sump. I spent 2 hours trying to get the firefish out of the overflow.
