    Hi bros, im wondering is there any kind of wire mesh out there that we can place at the 'comb' of the overflow so as to prevent shrimplets from dropping in... but also sufficent to let water flow thru and not clogging up... thanks!

    By adding a net over the overflow box may cause it chock easily. End up you will have a flooded tank and empty sump.
