Where can I get one? I want to add a wrasse or maybe 2. I understand they're jumpers and all the sites I look at say a "tight fitting lid" should be installed. Is there a place I can get a pre-fab one, or do they have to be made?
 
not cheap but they do nice work

Another idea

You run one of those Octo Lids? The price doesn't deter me as much as the lead time

No but Ive seen them in person. They are really nice. Ya the lead time has been long lately not sure why. There is one other company out there that makes similar tops but I can not remember the name,
 
Here is the other place that makes em. Never seen one in person but I have heard alot of good things about them.
 
Pure Reef makes a custom lid, but not sure how tight it is.

Red Sea also makes a DIY kit that might be appropriate to fit your tank too. It’s a measurement size and the rest is cut and fabricate to size based on your needs such as overflow, wiring, etc. Pure Reef has those in stock too in various sizes.

I heard some people use the gyre type wave systems to create a water wall across the top of the tank. Jumpers lose momentum as they approach the invisible water wall. Not sure how that would work if they caught the wave just right!
 
There are plans you can order acrylic ones but recommend screen lid that you cut to fit your tank.

My husband can make one for you if you pay for the materials or he can show you how to make them. He has made several for our tanks and is about to make another one
