So you are telling me the overflow drain does NOT lead to the ocean?

 

[boudster]

Glad it worked out. I've lost many fish to my overflow

Yeah before I got my tank sealed up my purple tang actually ran my yellow belly regal out of the tank. The one I replaced that one with about 1.5yrs ago is so big and fat now it couldn't get in the overflow if it tried. My wife named that tang Finn and even my clown pair is Micky and Minnie. No Dories or Nemos here

Now that's not to say others haven't managed to get in there before and being my tank is against a wall its a royal PIA to get a fish out. My overflow is 27" deep with 5 pipes and its no small effort to extract a fish.
