I swear to you, every fish I have ever bought was a "jumper" and as long as nobody in your tank mess with them too much, they have no reason to jump...
I had a chromis for about 6 months without it jumping but he was bugging my grammas too much so I ousted him....
You definitely take a bigger risk with an open top, but as with a lot of things I am finding in reefing, reports of the ill effects seem to be greatly exaggerated.
at least from my own personal experience.
and I tell everyone this, but one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in reefing is getting my 3 grammas to form a harem in my 72 gallon.
So rewarding to watch and in a tank without too much else you might even get to breed them.
Mine lay eggs, but never seen a fry....
