Good morning!

Never say never! I'll drink Maxwell house or foldgers brown mud before going without coffee! I must have my caffeine!
But we have nothing else in the house lol

Good morning! I’ve cleaned the diatoms off and stirred the sand. Now the real issue is going to be getting a clownfish out of the back corner overflow :mad:

Do you have up flow panels on your overflow boxes? If so, pull them up and out of the tank. This gives you about an inch of water they can swim through. Mine did this till I covered the overflows. I can provide you a picture of what I did to cover them.

Edit: looks like your water level in the Overflow boxes maybe too low for that to work!

I have the panels, but my water level in the overflows is still too low. I would like to see how you covered them though!

Animal netting zipped tied to some plastic sheeting, warmed to get the curve correct.

Plywood panel. This keeps smaller fish out.
