I forego eggcrate now and use a canopy about 8" tall. I have not lost a jumper since. Not even a wrasse in several years. Short of loss while doing maintenance. I failed to notice a jumper during extended maintenance. Oops.

I have cut outs for wires, but there's only enough room for the wires and still covers the eurobracing, gap is smaller than the actual eggcrate holes.
I haven't skinned my tank (top or bottom), but any that I've seen with a canopy do not seem to have jumpers, so this may be the plan for this year.

I do think they may have jumped when I feed. I have a 2'x2' piece that I move to feed them, that's really the only way I could see them escaping, unless they did actually fit through the holes.

Our cat sits on top of my tank too, is up there as soon as I move the ec to feed. She loves watching them but she won't put her paws in the water. She did this before I added the cover, she just walked along the euro bracing.....
