What do you have to prevent fish jumps?

I want to put something over my tank to prevent fishies from flying but wont that take away light for the corals?
I have the nova extreme pro that sits on the tank if that helps
Pictures would also help

Here is what I use. Screen frame and pond netting. The black screen on the front I made to shade my LPS in the front of my tank.

The only problem with that is a lot of jumper (wrasses, gobies) can and will still jump trough the holes. It is best to find something with 1/4" openings.

So the metal from the screen over time wont hurt the tank?
How did you attach it? Or did you just lay it on top?

Nope. Yes it just sets on top.

Is it some form of a thin chicken wire? If I went to lowes or home depot to get it where would it be located or listed as?

I must be confused. I see the wire over the water and the pond netting on the back.
I was thinking of just putting some wire over the tank
