So yesterday I bought some fishes for my 125g. I got 3acei, 1 yellow top mbuna, 2 red shoulder peacocks, and 1 nyererei red. This morning I went down to see how things were going and I couldn't find the nyererei any where. I looked on top of the tank under rocks and he was gone ! Then I looked in the overflow box and there he was swimming around . So i fished him out and now I have to figure a way to keep this from happening again. for now I stuffed some filter foam in the top hopefully that will help until I have a permanent solution.

I've found an Ob zebra fry in the bottom of my H.O.B filter once! Those little guys can get in the weirdest of places! Congrats on the new additions!

i've found fry in my overflow box on more than one occasion. Be careful when putting sponges in the overflow. If it does not allow water to pass through easily you will lose some of your suction and the pump will start to suck air.

When I had my reef tank I would find my Damsels in the sump all the time. I had a lot of flow, and I guess the would get into the box and get caught up for a wild ride. I bet they loved the sump, full of plants and pods for them to eat.
