RIP - CLOWNEY. Pour out some saltwater.
 
What a terrible night. Here I am sitting on my computer when I hear my backup overflow kick in. I go over to the sleeping tank(light off at 11) look in and assume it was a snail that got into my overflow. I then realize its my large female clown:sad:. I started to panic trying to get her out. She was stuck on the 90DEG turn going down to my sump. I took the overflow apart by then she had wiggled down deep into the tube. I hooked everything back up. Then I turned the mag 12 back on and she poped out the bottom. I put her in QT she died minutes later. I loved this fish she gave life to my darwins when the used to just swim at the surface of my tank. Now they swim all over my tank.

JUST LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND POUR OUT SOME SALT WATER FOR CLOWNEY.

Is there any way you can screen off access to your overflow for future fish/inverts?
