Do you have a BioCube or something similar? My clown jumped into the back chambers three times before I found a soluiton.
If anyone is curious, I took 1/2" tubing made a slit down the side and then fitted it over the back wall. I didn't make one long piece but 3 smaller pieces, so they are easier to handle and so there are a couple of spots that water could still over flow into the back chambers if the DT ever got too much water. I can't take credit for this idea, I read it somewhere here on this forum.

Clowns are so visible so im afraid he might have died and been absorbed by your clean-up crew already....

yeah i have an aquapod. he has jumped in the back before and i kept checking for him and finally i saw him. he is in the last chamber and is ok but he is refusing to come out. before he was by the top and easy to net, but now hes down at the very bottom and i cant see him. i dont know how to get him out. at night he sleeps near the surface of the water so im hoping that he will do that tonight and i can net him. any other suggestions?

Clowns really seem to like being where the water is flowing the fastest. Mine "sleeps" behind the overflow box in the tank where there's basically and ongoing blast of water.

got him. he was in the back filter area and he was at the bottom of the last compartment, hiding where i couldnt see him. when the lights were out for a while i found him with a flashlight and netted him
