Fish in overflow


Alok

Recommended Posts

I have a Glass Cages aquarium with their stock overflow. A fish went from my tank into the overflow and then down into my sump, where I retrieved it.

 

Is this common? Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening in the future?

Use plastic gutter guard to either make a high fence or to cover your overflow. Howard said in another post that he'd be bringing some to the meeting.

How do you fasten the gutter guard to the top of the overflow?

Make it a double fence, put some concertina wire on top, and guard dogs in the middle...

 

Well, that's the design for convict gobies, at least.

I got make my own for my glass cages tank, used plexi-glass Lowes, cut slots about 1/4 in apart and use aquarium sealant. They have been on there for 3 years with no problem.
