Yeah I never really got it either

I was however referring to corals spawning not people if you didn't figure that out already.

I only have the overflow box uncovered and the pump chamber but I'm still getting 1-2cups of evap a day. I kinda figured it'd be less than that

Every time I get a box fish I find him stuck to the gutter guard 2 days later... peal him off and he's good... for a day then I find him stuck to it all over again usually by the 4th day he's gone... I bought a bit bigger one this time so hopefully it'll go a bit better??

Any tips? Many people had success with these guys?

maybe try toning down the flow in the overflow box a bit,and adjust the return pump as needed.

doesn't that kind of boxfish get like 20 inches or something when they are adults?

Perhaps a larger U shaped gutterguard guard around the overflow? Prevent him from getting into the suction area

Not sure... but once he gets too big I'm sure someone will take him off my hands.

That's I good idea that I might try... guess I should have done a little more research... but I'm guessing he would have released his poison why stuck against the gutter guard if he was going to??
