While mounting some equipment, I dropped one of the screws and I'm pretty sure it landed in my sump. Of course it's going to be near impossible to get out without major excavation and exploration and pulling a lot of stuff out from under my cabinet.

I've heard horror stories of leaky magnets, etc. But I've also heard that rust is also something that chemically people put in their tank for some benefit.

Try using a magnet to find it. Maybe even one of those mechanics extendable wand ones. Just make sure the wand is clean and free of any oils

Well Vu, I took your advice. I took apart a lot of stuff, magnet swept all over and no luck.

Took another look and it looks like somehow it DID fall behind the tank! (at least I hope that's it!)
