He Jumped AGAIN!!
Yup...Heard sloshing in the overflow....ladder....flashlight...guess who's staring up at me? UghHH!!! This time I removed the hose to the sump and drained it to a bucket, along with Mr Blue Spot. No Mess!! THEN! He jumps out of the bucket and squims on the floor for a bit..... 
Update...As I was typing this, I heard a funny noise and realized that I had refilled the tank, started everything back up, but had forgotten to re-connect the hose to the sump. Yep, about 6 gallons on the floor! Is today the 13th by any chance??

Coming to a message board near you the continuing saga of Butch vs the Blue Spot Jawfish. 
This could have been avoided if you had just listened and sent him to me.

I just bought a helmet for my bar goby. When he gets spooked, he fires up from the bottom and hits the wooden canopy. It is loud as all hell and one of these days, he is going to take out a light.

Don't know where, but if you get one you'll probably be the one who ends up walking it 
Do you have a tight fitting canopy? If so try accually staple-gunning the screen to the canopy so he can't get in there.
The thing I don't like about eggcrate is small fish like the Jaw-fish can jump through it, then get stuck above it.
