Crating the top is one thing, but obviously fish are jumping for a good reason.

Glad your looking to find out the reason.

It can't be a faulty ground or whatever , because if im working in the tank.. wouldn't I feel that as well???

The temp is monitored with one of those stick on thermometers.

The 2 days I had fish jump, the temp did get hot.. too hot, I openly admit I forgot to open my bedroom window on Sunday, and turned the lights on at 11am and off at around 745pm .. so they were on too long, in a hot stuffy room. On Monday... same deal, forgot to open the window, room got hot.

What I have done since then though... lights on at 7am, off at 2pm. This way the tank can't get too hot, as our days get hottest at around 1-2pm (at least IME when observing the tank) I am pretty sure by switching things around like this I cna keep the temp at 82-84 (max) .

Here's hoping...
