RIP male clownfish :(
So I have the cpr cs 50 overflow , and I hate it
I am looking for a 90 gallon reef ready (pre drilled) anyway, I need a pump to keep air out of the overflow box and I have to take the intake cover off to clean it and when the clownfish was sleeping, he must have gone into it.
Very bummed about this
Just saying I DO NOT recommend the overflow box.

My fuge has done soooo much for algae control on this tank
I keep lights on for around 12-13 hrs a day, and only slight film algae on the glass
Tank has been set up for... 6 months now!!!! And after the ugly phase, it is looking pristine compared to my other tank where there is no fuge and algae everywhere!!! Snails don’t touch it, crabs chase my scooter dragonet, and the urchin stays on my glass. The only thing that helps is manual removal but it grows in the next week
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
