Well, this afternoon, once the lights came on, I came in from the shop to feed my babies.. OWhats this? only one Clown??? No, where is he? lift rocks, nope, not stuck. He was there @ 1am when I came home. Check in overflow?? Nope. Couldnt get in there, theres egg crate over it, only a couple small holes in the back.....remove one sump drain.. NOO, hes in the filter sock..dead

If there was no filter sock, he would have just landed in the baffle and been in the sump. The mix of crud and stress must have been to much. Filter sock was also kinked. So, he was cramped in there. Maybe if the sock was full open, he might have had room to swim a bit and relax/survive??
Just kinda bummed right now. So is my other clown. Didnt want to eat, just swimming in circles looking for his partner
