    Dude, I've never lost fish in your overflow.

    Try some eggcrate to prevent them from going in.

    A pic of the overflow will help. lol I say no egg crate. Your lucky they landed in your overflow and not on the ground.
    They will land on the eggcrate.

    I had this happen to me recently. I had to wrap my overflow with plastic screen like what is on your windows. I have 2 clownfish that like to be sucked up and land down in my filter sock lol.
    Switched over to the dark side of lighting. LEDs. The force is strong with this one!

    btw I wrapped it around the overflow and put a strip of superglue down holding it together.

    I have my eggcrate lining the inside lip to provide an eggcrate wall/barrier.

    If any fish actually lands on the eggcrate, it's a bit of a balancing act to stay there. I imagine that if they make it past that they would end up in the sump.
