Do you protect your overflow grill?

I’m curious if anyone here places any protective or preventive measures on their overflow grills.

I have a CADE peninsula, and while the tank is well designed, the overflow grill seems to be a weak point as it’s fairly narrow at around 10”.

The biggest offenders are my Turbo Snails and my Sea Hare where usually once a week, my ATO will go off repeatedly due to them blocking a part of the grill, raising the display tank’s water line. I always move them back to the rockwork. Thankfully, there’s been no spillage onto the floor, but I cannot be at home all the time to catch this when it happens.

I’m wondering if there are any pre-filters or covers I could install in front of the grill to protect the flow-rate and have some peace of mind.

Thanks!
