Longnose hawkfish driving me crazy !!

[Snappy]

If you keep smaller fish that are curious like a longnose hawk they will usually find their way through eggcrate, the holes are just too big.
Here is a picture of the aquamedic overflow combs which are adjustable and well suited for your application. I ended up going with a one piece custom made acrylic comb instead but I suggest you look for something along this line instead of eggcrate.


From this next picture you can get an idea of how the comb styles work & look in my overflow.

I dont think the hawkfish is getting through the holes but I could be wrong. He's a fair size, I was assuming he was jumping over the top of the overflow.

My over flow is square on the top so I just cut an overly large square and placed it right on. Keep in mind this will increase the water height in your tank. Has worked well for me.
