I had a wrasse survive at least a week in an overflow once. I assumed he passed away under the sand after not seeing him for a few days only to have him splash me when I peaked down during the following weekends water change. Startled me to the degree that I jumped back an smacked my head on the lights hanging above. He then jumped out back into the display.
Hope your retrieval goes well!

Thanks! It was pretty easy, killed the pump, siponed out 80% of the overflow, moved the net towards her and she swam in. I'm going out to buy my lottery tickets because I'm never this lucky!

With the half circle wave maker placement and lighting was tricky. I have a Gyre 250 on one side and then I put an MP40 on the center rear between the two overflows and the second MP40 on the back left. I get tons of flow and all corals are happy. I recently started adding a few SPS acros to my loaded LPS so I have dialed up all 3 pumps and they are all doing great. My Sump has a Royal Exclusive skimmer and a separate 30 gallon refugium FULL of chateo. The stuff grows so fast I toss a basketball size every month. I love the cylinder shape tanks, so much that I set up an Innovative marine cylinder Nano to go with my Large half circle.
Make sure you get a powerful magnet cleaner cause the curved glass kinda sucks to clean.
Good luck with the tank

The cheato in mine is fianally starting to thicken, I'm not recognizing explosive growth yet but it's still a pretty young tank. I will definitely have to add a couple of pucks to both ends to hit the darks spots, you are right lighting is a little tricky on these. Picked up the flipper max during the black Friday and it seems to do pretty good. During cleaning the only area I noticed having problems with is along the bottom at the sand line. Always open for cleaning tips, if you found a better magnet cleaner or how you tackle that area let me know I'm all ears. The separate fuge is also on my radar, I had another member that runs a tank like ours recommend doing that as well. I have a few ideas in mind but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Thanks for sharing! Your tank looks great!

Lol, actually I'm afraid to look! Honestly I haven't been downstairs yet to see but I will take a peek before I leave for work. I'm not sure if one of the new additions scared her and made her jump. The only one out of the two that could scare her would be the blue tang which would be funny because he (or she) isn't much bigger! The Copperband is slow and doesn't care about anything, it's to busy looking for it's next snack. She needed a small attitude adjustment anyway.
