Are there fish that can't jump out of an aquarium? Or just keep the tank fed?

Hello my LFS is delivering my aquarium next week, it's an Innovative Marine 100 gallon ext. My LFS is also bringing the water at the same time. I'm planning on using Dr Tims and ammonia for aquariums to cycle it. Also after it's delivered i plan on ordering a lid from Kraken lids. My thought is, if the aquarium is cycled before the lid arrives is there a good way to keep the cycle going? Are there any fish that are basically incapable of jumping out or should I just put food in the tank each day? I know that IM aquariums come with a lid but I don't think it will fit with the lights attached to the glass. Thanks for any suggestions!

I currently have 16 fish in a 180 g tank, including 2 wrasses, a shoal of 7 lyretail anthias, swissquard basslet, and Fridmani dottyback (think torpedos). Plenty of hiding places. No bullies in the tank. Yellow tang (only tang) is tank boss. I do not have covers on the tank and have had no jumpers, but I understand that could change.

otherwise, they can all jump but some will jump out given any chance like a jawfish....or in my case, a midas blenny who would leap out the feed door when I opened it, one time even slapped me in the face....

and some occasionally jump out like a clownfish.

Doesn't IM have a eurobrace? or your lights going over that?

That's a funny story about your midas blenny lol

I really wish the aquarium I was getting had a eurobrace, but it seems to only be available on their larger size tanks. I heard from Reef Dork that most fish jump near the edges of the tank and a eurobrace would prevent most of it.

Sounds like a nice aquarium, a large school of anthias like those is really cool

Some shrimp would be nice to watch until I get my lid

Btw my Clown mainly jumped to ATTACK my sister btw. She doesn't do it to me, but she does it to the syringe I feed her brine with.
