Rescuing fish from overflow

[EastBay]

Have a 90g Oceanic african cichlid tank, reef-ready style.

Noticed a fish was at the bottom of the overflow area, with one drain pipe and one return pipe. About 2(?) feet deep. Any way to get that fish out of there without breaking down tank?

Also have one in sump I just noticed.

Any tricks of the trade?

Thanks

See if its accesible to nets. If not then use some sort of small "shooer" to make the fish leave itself. If the fish is small enough then you can use a gravel vac to halfway suck it up then quickly pull up the vac so he doesn't go back in. I would have to see the setup to see my options of rescue. Any pics? That's the first things I can think of.

order a retractable shrimp net off ebay or check the power sellers section on plantedtank.net.

Those work great
