Should I switch out my tank?

[cobraden]

Hi everyone,

I have a 100 gallon RR, 60"x18" footprint tank that I have used as a reef tank in the past. I now want to do a freshwater tank and plan to do schools of tetras and such. I am concerned that I migh loose a bunch of fish into the overflow box and then filter. I'm thinking of either trying to trade with someone for a non drilled tank or removing the overflow box and just capping off the holes with the bulk heads. What option would you take?

You can try tight-fitting coarse sponges inside the top of the overflow weir and keep the fish from getting in.

Plastic mesh netting cut to fit. Best solution I have found for this. Just cut it to fit andbplace inside the overflow box and that's it. Try to get the clear one.

Cross stitching grids from the hobby store works wonders.
