Advice
Well, my wrasse got spooked and jumped into my overflow. I can see him in there. How to rescue him now? Can I remove the drainpipe and return pipe in my standard Megaflow overflow without causing a flood? Any other advice on how to get him out is much appreciated.

Whenever I lost a fish down an internal overflow with the return and intake pipes in place I have to be very patient with a couple of nets in the overflow. It was cramped, vermetid snails were stabbing me, my back was killing me... but with a bit of patience and slow movements the wrasse swam into one of the nets and I got him out.

Keep return pump running, put net under drain pipe in sump, pull out standpipe, wait...

I've drained the overflow and netted but have also pulled the standpipe and and taken out from the filter sock in the basement. Thinking a quick trip to the basement is probably less stressful than have a net waved around for 1/2 hour.
