Never heard of a lionfish jumping. Sorry to hear it bro. Fuzzies are pretty cool. I didn't even know lionfish had enough fin strength to toss themselves out of the water.

You might want to consider using egg crate light defuzer panels this will still allow light through, prevent fish from getting out, let heat out, and still let an exchange of oxygen and Nitrogen take place.

No go to your local Lowes, Home depot, ect... It will most likely in the lighting section or the ceiling panel section. This is the stuff that they put into ceiling tiles where lights are some is simi-transparent, This style is called egg-crate it is simply a checker board style pattern that is made of white acrylic and open air squares. the open squares are about 1/2 inch square each so nothing could get through it.

I can post a picture of some when I get home.
Finally something to post a picture of
