Fish committed suicide

[randy4083]

I don't have a top on my tank because it's gonna be mainly corals but yesterday I just bought two expensive clownfish that were 76 dollars a piece and I bought a tiger goby and the goby jumped out of the tank and was on the floor this morning dead so I want to go get a top made for the tank and I don't know whether to get glass like the tank is or plexiglass in case I decide to run a biopellet reactor on there because I can cut the plexiglass easy and the glass I would have to take it back and have them cut it but I don't know what would work better for the Kessel 360 we light that I have on the tank? What would you guys do?

I would put on a mesh DIY lid to allow gas exchange and prevent the fish from jumping, while also allowing light penetration. All fish have the potential to jump.

I bought a piece of glass at the glass shop and the Kessel is still putting the same light through the glass and I left a little opening in the back because I have the Marineland pro hob filter and a hob reef octopus bh 90 on the back so air will be able to get through and it looks good! I had to get something fast because I didn't want to lose the clownfish that I just bought 2 of because there already paired they was in the same tank at my lfs for atleast a month and a half and there staying together all the time and I'm about to go and get another tiger goby because these are the only ones of these fish that I've ever seen around here so I think that there rare
