ryukin81 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 hi guys, my cousin recently bought a 210 marineland tank with 2 built in overflows at the corners. the problem she is having is that her eels are getting into the overflow and into the sump. Is there a type of wire mesh that is aquarium safe that someone has had experience with? i would like to block the overflows more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used egg crates before and they are cheap and awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
