What is everyone using to cover their powerheads to prevent anemone

pain. Anyone doing it another way?

Well I have youy beat in the years department sucker and folks are
still responding to me every day, and I am not counting my socks
either. If it was not for folks trying to get me to see the light or
my socks I wuld not have any replies....face it.

Oh, I claim those socks as dependants on my income tax....

I flipped mine upside down, so they suck from the top instead of the
bottom. My anemones have given up glass climbing for the
moment, but I was planning to use fiber or similar w/ rubber bands. I
haven't found a sponge that would work that well accept
that some powerheads come with extended uptakes to house the sponge.
This might reduce suction enough to avoid anemone death.

My ritteri finally found a perch with a lot of flow. I would never have
guessed that they would like that much current, but he's
stayed put within 48 hrs of adding new power heads.

I have a large LTA in a 20 gal tank for over 6 years. I hate to move it to
a bigger tank because it's done so well in there over the
years. It's growing pretty close to the powerhead and sometimes knocks off
the sponge. Maybe I'll try turning it upside down.
Thanks.
