The area I'm in is rather dry through the summer season, we rarely see the kind of torrential rainstorms that are common in the eastern US. When there is rain in the forecast I just make sure the water level is the tubs is a few inches below the rim, and usually that's enough to keep them from overflowing. I've only had overflows a handful of times, and never have noticed any missing fish. There's a Goliad Farms video where Charles Clapsaddle talks about how most fish will avoid getting swept over an edge (he runs a centralized system where tubs overflow into a central sump). I have heard of people living in areas with heavy rainfall drilling a series of small holes just below the rim of the tub to drain water before it can overfill. Hope that's helpful!
Hey!! How do you keep from losing fish when the rain overflows the tubs?
