small fish vs overflow

[itsacrispy]

Hey all

I'm having a problem keeping my fish from jumping into the overflow. They seem to fit right through the teeth.

any suggestions on how to prevent this without stopping up the overflow box?

Thanks

Mike

glue some egg crate on the teeth until they get big enough that they don't fit.

Thanks. Might be a stupid question, but where can you find eggcrate normally? HD?

Thanks again

Mike

I got mine at HD. Lowes didn't carry it.

Aquaculture mesh AKA Gutter Guard works well also, I've got a ton of it if you want a scrap LMK.

Hey thanks tube! That looks perfect. When and where are you available? I can come to you.

I live out on the coast in between Half Moon Bay and Pathetica, I mean Pacifica. I'm on the peninsula regularly we can meet up at a LFS, or if you like you can make the trek out to the coast and check out my experiment in coral overcrowding I call my aquarium.

Thanks again tube. I'll see when I can make it over to the peninsula. It may have to wait till next year, but no rush here.
