Keeping Clown out of overflow box

[bigdscobra]

What is the best way to keep a clow fish from going into the overflow??

I think he must just be small enought to fit in the slots of the overflow..

I came home from work tonight to see that my new clown that I just got eariler today was swimming inside the overflow box. The first clown that I had was sucked through the overflow and ended up in pieces in on the filter pad....

Any suggestions???

Thanks

I used the perforated tubing that used to come with the old style oceanic overflows. I just cut a slit in it and stuck it over the overflow covering the teeth. I have a peice left that you can have if you want to come out and get it.

You can also stick a bio-ball over the bulkhead to prevent it from being sucked down into the sump

Just pulled him out again...

Richard may have to get that from you, If I still have a fish left in the morning.

You can also get some plastic mesh that is a little thick and fold it in half and stick that in the suction of your overflow box. My overflow box came with it already installed and it works fine.
