what do you guys use to cover your overflows to help stop it sucking up fish and snails>>> Pics would be awesome thanks!!!!

Egg crate or gutter guard is the cheapest solution. You can cut either material to fit your needs.

I have used the egg-crate, still had some small fish get sucked in still.

Gutter guard here. Never had any issues since I put it around the overflow chamber.

Do they sell gutter guard at Home Depot or Lowes?

 

[thor32766]

yeah they do. I bought some at lowes, just tough to get it to really get a good form to it.

Both. Buy the plastic type with mesh. One piece should be plenty, for one overflow. You will need to trim off certain sections so that you are using predominately the mesh. I cut mine into 4 pieces and then connected them so that it simply slides over the overflow chamber. It sticks up out of the water, but nobody sees that.
