Default Fish Jumping!!

Anyone have any problems with fish jumping out of their tanks??
i have a metallic foxface showfish easily 12" that jumped out of my tank tonight!
i have a feeling its from the heat of the summer
ive put a ton of ice in the sump to cool down the water and make it more comfortable for the fish but im hoping the sun cools off soon!!!!!

My scissortail goby jumped out about a month ago. Only had him for about 3 weeks. Tank temperature is usually around 26-27C. It was during feeding I think because I remember seeing him eat. When I came back 10mins later he was on the floor. He was my first jumper.

My male Lyretail Anthia jumped also during feeding wasn't a heat issue, they just jump.
Also lost a green spotted gobie during the night.

Both of my Clowns have "gone over the wall" and ended up in the overflow at one point or another. I had to recue the large one last night.
