~~~Planted Tank Overflow Question~~~

[AmazonAngel]

Hello, I have a spounge used as a pre-filter on the overflow for my 120 gallon planted tank to keep the barbs from falling over. I have to clean the plant debris from it daily. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to keep small fish from falling over the overflow that I wouldnt have to clean daily? Thanks

Fiberglass screen. They sell it at Lowes and Home Depot in rolls for keeping leaves out of gutters.

nothing ive ever tried has worked and looked ok at the same time... a big "puff" of screen worked well but it looked like crap...

Plastic canvas might work. You can get it at a craft store.
