Any Suggestions?..Clowns in overflow

[RoryJ]

Does anyone have any suggestions to keep fish from getting into overflow? My first 2 clowns in tank have now been in the overflow 2 days in a row..After removing 1 last night I awoke to both now in the overflow..

Corner overflow...looks like only spot would be just under the return..

Maybe put some knitting mesh behind that area?

I've actually seen it held in place with super glue. Just cut a circular piece to cover gap, put a hole in middle, as if making a "gasket". Fit into place around the return and glue

Agreed, when I had a 65 Gallon Corner-Flo I used plastic canvas on top and to cover the gap from the return line. The submerged plastic did get gunky, so I would recommend something less permanent than glue (I used reusable zip ties) so you can rinse it out every month or so...
