clownfish jumps ...
 
... into the overflow. Just got back from a 5-day business trip. The first thing my sis told me was that my 2" clownfish was now in one of the overflows. She had no idea how it got there. It has been in the tank for over 2 yrs now ... never did anything likes this ... guess it misses me lol.

Any suggestion as to how I can get it out of there. There is not much space there with the durso pipes ..

Clown Rescue
 
Could you siphon the overflow down to just an inch or so of water, then reach down with your hand and pick the clown out?

What are the dimensions of the overflow??

Got it
 
Just got him out of there a minute ago ... hope he is OK ... will check on him tomorrow morning.
What I did.
I put a net in the overflow. Turned off all the lights and after an hour or so, I checked on him with a flashlight. The clown was wobbling near the top. So I quickly picked him up .... some splashing, but I do not think I hurt him... hope he is OK
