what's in your overflow
 

Starting up the new 300:mrgreen: Was thinking of filling the overflow boxes

with sand. Except I already have a RSB running. Then I though fill it with rock rubble. Seems like a waste just to have a durso in the space.

what's in your overflow? Besides Water!!! Nip that in the but right away:razz:

just my heaters

feather dusters and some sponges

Sponges and Pods.

xenia and pods

Likely it will fill up with stuff soon enough, seems I always have a layer of detritus in there.I usually vaccum it out every 6 months or so. Other than that its mostly pods and sponges and before I put a layer of gutterguard over the top I was growing some really funky algaes in there :wink:

things in my overflow
 

a false percula clown that's been there for 6 months, couple of bluelegs, sponges, few snails and aiptasias.

A decomposing regal tang. :(

I just can't get deep enough to pull out the corpse.

sponges & fan worms

Yikes! Try a siphon tube, just don't start it near the corpse :razz: Then hold the siphon as you maneuvre the body out of the overflow.

what about a stick with a barb on the end?

I tried a turkey skewer tied to the end of tongs but there is not a lot of meat left on the corpse to grab a hold of. The bristleworms and crabs that have become trapped in the overflow are slowly making their work on it.

A pile of bristle worms, feather dusters, and a billion brittle stars

One side an African Flameback Angel and the other a Green Sea Grass Wrasse...sadly I can't get either out...but otherwise, I have nothing else in there....

A white pvc pipe that makes WAY too much noise.
