I have a Red Sea Reefer. For the second time in a few months, I had a fish leap out of the tank. Thank goodness I was home and happened to hear it happen as it was one of my storm clownfish. He’s alive and happy. A few months ago sadly I lost a very nice angel because this happened when I wasn’t home.

Now that it’s happened twice I wonder if this is an issue I need to deal with.

Are there tops you can get for this aquarium... not a hood but maybe something mesh? Any decent looking options?
 
Yes, you can buy customisable mesh top kits. If you do a Google search several companies carry them as well as red sea Or you can search the DIY threads and make one. I made one for our 9 gallon, it was pretty easy. Fish will jump, sorry to hear about your angel, but I'm glad to hear you saved your clown.
