Help, Clownfish leaped to overflow, lol

[Swayze27]

One of my small ocelleris leaped over into the corner overflow section of my 180. With the pvc, etc. it is a very tight space and a net will not fit. Any suggestions on how to get him out?

Your hand? I have done it quite a few times

By hand is the easiest, if you want wait till late in the night while it sleeping, you will have him back in the tank before he realized what happened.

Lol, I will try the hand. Maybe he's being hosted by the return line up high.

Try putting something else down there, like filter floss or something. Try and raise the water level. Your hand might work if you can reach.

Got em. Cut pump off, let water drain to sump until level with overflow obviously. Siphoned a majority of the water out of the overflow he was in and was able to use a small net once he was in a limited water space. Tried the hand thing, failed, lol.
