Default I can hardly believe it

This morning I noticed a problem with my return water not cycling through my sump system properly. (turns out I had put in some filter floss in my sump that compacted and really restricted water flow) But I didn't notice that right away as I generally don't put any filter material in my sump. So I pretty much went straight to my overflow (which is built into my reef tank) I figured one of the standpipes might be clogged. So I take off some of the durso standpipe fittings.

While squeezing my head over the tank to look down the pipes I notice in the corner of my overflow swimming around is my cleaner wrasse who has been missing for well over 6 months. I bet it was last spring since I last saw that guy.

Well it took a long time to get that fish out of there, but he has now traded his 2 gallon overflow for a 150 gallon tank. Welcome back bud!!

I wonder if he liked it in there? The most I ever found in my over flow were snails and the occasional nudi.

Awesome

Everytime I'm missing a fish, the first place I check is my overflow... then my sump. I have one particular clown who loves to go overflow/sump surfing at least once a month.

Wouldn't it be fun to be a fish?
