"You will probably find him next year on your next spring cleaning."
Maybe not. My floors are not congested. I have quite a few sump filters and sumps with pre-sumps. Just one of my pre-sumps (limestone wash, refill valve, coarse sponges) is 300gals and hooked to the 600gal (385gal bead filter, commercial skimmer, degassing tower, etc) filter system. I have other sumps that are, physically, over 100gals each to handle my 400+gal setups. I figure that chances are good he made it into one of these sumps. I just can't get to the bottom silt layers without tearing down the filters. If he's not in a filter, he was either eaten by the gar (Da@#...didn't do a stomach contents check) or eaten by something in another tank.
