Default Fish Keep Jumping Out Of The !&@*^ Tank!

Ok, speaking of throwing in the towel on this hobby, I am seriously considering.

I just lost my male clown last night to jumping and today I lost my newly added Royal Gramma to jumping. What the hell is the deal??? Could the warmer temps be causing them to jump??!

I am frustrated, I am working on the tank too much and doing too much for it to keep it running successfully and I am not seeing hardly any desirable results. I am really getting fed up... if it's not dying fish it's dying corals and if it's neither then it's an algae problem. I dunno what to do...

But if we could figure out why my fish keep jumping, that would be super. If heat is the cause, then obviously I'll have to re-think this hobby as my tank can't run in the summer. And I am not adding a chiller to a 20g tank .

The temp gets about 84-87. Sometimes a bit hotter which I know is bad, but I do my best to keep it cool.

I am officially frustrated and seriously re-thinking my tank. It's just not fair to all the fish/corals that die under my care.
