<p>I have had fish get sucked in to my 350 canister filter. I found them in my over flow drains. I've had them even jump out of the tank.</p>

<p>Well I took a look at you outside tank with cover on it. I will tell you those suckers will jump esp on a moon light night and if the sides aren't all tied down they will slip out the smallest opening. They could of jumped out at night and a coon, rat, or owl, or cat could of found them and ate them. That is just a thought. I haven't ever had any snakes get into my system so I am not sure if that could even be and issue. I do know this if they are dying in the tank the others will eat them…</p>

<p>The tank in question is my 180 g. main tank. The 110 g. sump has fry between 1-3 inches. Sump pumps into the main tank, while the main tank drains by gravity to beds. I have a drain cover over my drain, so no way fish could get out there. I posted a video about my system earlier because of my unique alternating mechanism. Here is that link: …</p>

<p>Humm what kind of system are you running??? Media bed only or DWT? Do you have a sump tank? I have had some of my fish end up in the sump tank.</p>
