You can always go open top as long as you have no jumpers.

Also bulk reef supply sells some material to make your own screen tops. Its very cheap and works pretty well.

I got the 1/4" clear screen from BRS. I haven't put it up yet because I just got it. I'll post pics in my build thread when I complete this project

it really depends... Some fish such as firefish, anthias, wrasses are known to be jumpers, but all fish can jump. It really depends a lot on their personalities.
