Default What is the easiest and best way to cover a tank

I'm having a problem with fish jumping out of my tanks. I've placed a partial piece of glass on top, but the tanks heat up, with the metal HQI lighting. What could be a better option? Doug

Depends on the size of fish but could use eggcrating.

The downside is you have to buy a large sheet but there's always somebody selling it on RC.
