Cover the overflows?

If they have teeth in them, you can have black acrylic cut to cover them. Helps prevent algae growth in them as well.

i thought of that but if the goofy fish jump onto the cover the lights will cook them, now they just drop into the water.

You could cover the tank with eggcrate, then the fish couldn't jump out.
