Default Ideas

I have a 90 gallon with a corner herbie overflow. When I looked in this morning my coral beauty had manageed to get over the eggcrate gard into said overflow. I can't seem to get a net close to him due to the 2 standpipes and need to get him back into the display. I am in need of ideas here folks.
Thanks in advance

Both my overflow and return have gate vavles. I just close the overflow first to raise the water level in the tank then the return su it won't overflow. Give or take a few hours the fish smarten up and come out of there.

Default overflow

try getting strips of cheap plexiglass and divide off areas around your stand pipes and trap your fish in a larger area where you could use your net
