Fish in the Overflow box - any tricks to gettimg him out?

[CMOS]

Howdy All,

Well darned if my new 6-line wrasse didn't wind up in the overflow box when we got up this AM.

Are there any secret tricks to getting a fish out of the overflow???

Try a small net. If there is no room you can try pulling your durso drain and see if you can flush him down into the sump.

Success!

I got 2 small nets and rigged 12" extensions to them. Basically chased him from one end of the OFB to the other and and was able to get him. Whew! :Cheers:

Thanks for the suggestion. Might need that next time.

Pulling the durso and netting him in the water stream of the overflow is probably the least stressful way to get at them.
