It can be done but I often come back out with my hair wet and salty and I try to do anything requiring my dive missions in the morning before underarm deodorant goes on!
Anything lost in the overflows? Super challenging to reach it because of course overflows are super narrow and all the way down.
I had two pygmy gobies in the overflows and abandoned the rescue effort in favor of just flushing them down the sump and catching them in a net at the pipe ends.
I always thought once I got it set up I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore but it's weird how things still seem to come up where I need to reach in.
Doable in a 29 but I no longer crave the 31.
I think a 40 would be beautiful but very difficult to maintain (but you already know that... ;) )
