    So tonight i finally got my sump and pump working(for now) and i have had the problem with flow rate and i took off the nozel from my pvc overflow and all of a sudden everything is working and pump doesnt run dry anymore.

    So my question: any suggestion as to what I can use long term to stop the fish from getting into the nozel?

    You can use that plastic mesh sheets. You can just silicone it to the nozzel. Will post a pic of the stuff I got on my overflow.

    More holes would make it too big and fish will get into it, currentley I have 8mm holes drilled in it
