Sorry to say it but reef tanks have open tops as a rule. No matter how many clownfish jump out it wouldnt cover the cost of over cooking a reef. Egg crate would be caked with salt within a week so that's not really a good option. Just keep an open top and if a clownfish wants to commit suicide every once on a while, so be it.

I have a reef tank - I have no lid as lids restrict the intensity and amount of light that is delivered to the tank- egg creates limit, plastic restricts, glass just plain reflects off - corals are so dependent on lite it is the best option IMO.
Fish jump out of tanks because they are uncomfortable - not enough room, incorrect water conditions, disease, bullying, no territory left to be had, etc...

Thanks guys, What about a strong wire mesh on the top? I'm trying to look at something a little less noticeable while still keeping good light contact.

Salt creep would be your enemy there. There just isn't a whole lot you can do. If fish keep jumping I suppose you could lower the water level a couple inches so its harder to get out, but open tops are the way to go.

Yeah, Thanks man, Though speaking of water level my level was like 3 inches off.. I guess they were good jumpers. Anyway Thanks again.
